Brain MRI Surveillance Alone Helps Preserve Cognition in Small Cell Lung Cancer

MRI surveillance alone improves outcomes for patients with small-cell lung cancer

Results from the international phase III SWOG S1827 MAVERICK trial show that brain MRI surveillance alone improved cognitive failure-free survival compared with MRI surveillance plus prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Brain MRI Surveillance Alone Helps Preserve Cognition in Small Cell Lung Cancer

(MedPage Today) -- Brain MRI surveillance without prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) led to improved cognitive failure-free survival (CFFS) in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the phase III MAVERICK trial showed. Patients randomized...

Phase III MAVERICK Trial Supports Brain MRI Surveillance Alone as Standard of Care for Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Brain MRI Surveillance Alone May Be Enough in SCLC

For patients with small-cell lung cancer, skipping preventive cranial radiotherapy in favor of MRI monitoring may improve outcomes.

MRI surveillance after SCLC helps patients avoid brain irradiation

MRI surveillance without prophylactic cranial irradiation improved cognitive failure-free survival and substantially reduced serious treatment-related adverse events

MAVERICK Study Raises Potential for MRI Brain Surveillance Alone Without Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation in SCLC

While the phase III study showed improved cognitive failure-free survival and reduced toxicity with MRI surveillance alone, access to MRI and final OS results may impact adoption of MRI surveillance alone as the standard of care in SCLC.
