Conditions
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: Irradiation prophyllactique cérébrale
Registration Number
NCT03209128
Lead Sponsor
Centre Francois Baclesse, Luxembourg
Brief Summary

Hippocampus and amygdala are parts of the brain involved in the recognition of emotions, memories, memory, language ... It is therefore very important to protect them during irradiation of the brain.
