Dataset on the Impact of Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation, with and without hippocampal avoidance, on Quality of Life and Neurocognitive Function in Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients

The dataset comprises the assessments of 15 patients suffering Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). They are divided into two groups depending on the type of radiotherapy received (without or with hippocampus avoidance; PCI and HA-PCI respectively). The initial number of participants were nine for PCI and six for HA-PCI groups. In the subsequent assessments at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, the number of participants decreases due to attrition and mortality. Additionally, the dataset includes various descriptive variables about the participants, specifically sex, age, and years of education.
