Abstract
We detected significant and progressive radiotherapy-associated structural changes in the brains of patients with NPC who were treated with standard radiotherapy, especially in the bilateral temporal lobe in which the effect was dose-dependent. Expansion of the ventricles can serve as an imaging marker for treatment-related reduction in cognitive function. Future studies with longer follow-ups are needed to evaluate morphometric changes long-term after radiotherapy.
