“…In our meta-analyses for intracranial and extracranial OARs, we specifically evaluated dosimetric data of OARs involved in neurogenesis (hippocampus [10, 11, 27]), sensory functions (optic chiasm, lens, retina, lacrimal gland, and cochlea), endocrine functions (pituitary gland and thyroid), neurocognition (hippocampus, normal brain, and brainstem), and tissues exposed to SMNs risk (normal brain tissue and brainstem [10, 11]) or late toxicity (circle of Willis for cerebrovascular disease [10, 11] and esophagus, thyroid, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys).…”
