Dr. Sahgal gives a wealth of information about brain radiation in this video presentation from the LiveLung small cell lung cancer virtual group (livelung.org/smallcell). His discussion of prophylactic brain irradiation (PCI) and stereotactic brain radiation has helped many of us better understand brain radiation options and their effects so we can make the most informed choices. This is an excellent resource!
