Hippocampus protection, as an organ at risk in brain radiotherapy, might protect patients' quality of life. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) has been used traditionally small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients it increases survival. This study aimed to discover the contributing parameters for a successful PCI with simultaneous protection hippocampus by using three different treatment machines. For this purpose, plans were generated 45 SCLC half-arcs linear accelerators (LINACs; Elekta...
