Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory and thinking in patients with blood cancer.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Observational (neurocognitive assessment, questionnaires, MRI)
- description
- Patients undergo neurocognitive function assessments, complete questionnaires over 8-10 minutes and undergo standard of care MRI at baseline (within 4 weeks before the first day of WBRT), 2, 6, 12 months after RT completion, then annually for 5 years.

- Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Other: Neurocognitive Assessment
- Other: Quality-of-Life Assessment
- Other: Questionnaire Administration
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Cognitive outcomes
- timeFrame
- Up to 5 years
- description
- Neurocognitive failure will be defined as the first cognitive failure on 2 or more of the following tests: the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Revised Total Recall, Delayed Recall and Delayed Recognition; the Controlled Oral Word Association; and the Trail Making Test Part A or B. The rate of neurocognitive failure and its 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated. The cumulative incidence approach may be used to estimate the median time to neurocognitive failure to account for the competing risk of death. May use the Aalen-Johansen estimator of the cumulative incidence function.
