Blood-brain barrier permeability following conventional photon radiotherapy – A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical and preclinical studies

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2022
Radiotherapy (RT) is a cornerstone treatment strategy for brain tumours. Besides cytotoxicity, RT can cause disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), resulting in an increased permeability into the surrounding brain parenchyma. Although this effect is
