Executive summary
This study compared the neurocognitive results of patients who received PRT (n = 38) or XRT (n = 20) at least one year after radiotherapy. This study found that the XRT group performed worse than the PRT group on measures of processing speed (p = .01) and verbal memory (p < .01); however, social outcomes with impairment in peer relations and social skills did not differ by radiation type.
