ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT. Brain metastases are the most common central nervous system tumors. The mainstay treatment for this tumor in low to middle income countries is whole brain radiation therapy. Irreversible cognitive decline is associated with the use of whole brain radiotherapy. Several pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic options have been employed in studies focusing on the prevention of cognitive decline following whole-brain radiation therapy. Memantine use has been shown to provide some benefit in reducing the rate of decline in cognitive function and time to cognitive failure. The objective of this review article is to provide a summary on available primary literature on the therapeutic role of memantine for the prevention of cognitive decline in cancer patients with brain metastasis receiving whole brain radiotherapy.
RESUMO
RESUMO. As metástases cerebrais são os tumores mais comuns do sistema nervoso central. O tratamento principal para este tumor em países de baixa e média renda é a radioterapia de cérebro inteiro. O declínio cognitivo irreversível está associado ao uso de radioterapia cerebral total. Várias opções farmacológicas e não farmacológicas têm sido empregadas em estudos com foco na prevenção do declínio cognitivo após radioterapia de cérebro inteiro. O uso de memantina demonstrou fornecer algum benefício na redução da taxa de declínio na função cognitiva e no tempo até a falha cognitiva. O objetivo deste artigo de revisão foi fornecer um resumo da literatura primária disponível sobre o papel terapêutico da memantina para a prevenção do declínio cognitivo em pacientes com câncer com metástase cerebral recebendo radioterapia cerebral total.
