Radiation Therapy Harms the Brain, Causing Memory and Attention Problems. (NaturalNews) Radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumors may lead to cognitive decline later in life, according to a study conducted by researchers from VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and published in The Lancet Neurology.

Radiation Therapy Harms the Brain, Causing Memory and Attention Problems

Scientists have known for some time that radiation therapy can damage healthy brain tissue, but prior research found no immediate negative effects from the treatment. In the new study, researchers conducted brain function tests on 65 patients who had undergone treatment for low-grade glioma 12 years previously. Low-grade glioma is one of the most common forms of brain tumor. It is non-carcinogenic, and can often be removed with surgery. However, many doctors use radiotherapy following surgery. The researchers found that a full 53 percent of patients who had been treated with radiation exhibited problems with mental function 12 years after their treatment, compared with only 27 percent of those who had not undergone radiation treatment.

Mild cognitive impairment: More than the usual forgetfulness. Some difficulty with remembering things (like names) and forgetting where you put things (like keys) is so typical that it’s considered a normal part of aging.

Mild cognitive impairment: More than the usual forgetfulness

But some people experience a middle ground of cognitive impairment that’s worse than normal age-related problems but not as bad as dementia from Alzheimer’s disease or other brain diseases. Researchers labeled this intermediate state “mild cognitive impairment” in the 1980s, and the name stuck. Mild cognitive impairment stays mild in many cases. At the same time, studies have shown that people with the condition are about three times more likely to develop full-blown dementia than those without it.
