To determine whether early assessment of cerebral white matter degradation can predict late delayed cognitive decline after radiation therapy (RT). Ten patients undergoing conformal fractionated brain RT participated in a prospective diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study. MRI was acquired prior to RT, 3 weeks and 6 weeks during RT, and 10, 30, and 78 weeks after starting RT. Diffusivity variables in the parahippocampal cingulum bundle and temporal lobe white matter were computed. Quality of life (QOL) survey and neurocognitive function tests were administered pre-RT and at post-RT MRI follow-ups. In both structures, longitudinal diffusivity (λ||) decreased and perpendicular diffusivity (λ⊥) increased following RT, with early changes correlating to later changes (p < 0.05). Radiation dose correlated with increase in cingulum λ⊥ at 3 weeks, and patients with >50% of cingula volume receiving >12 Gy had a higher increase in λ⊥ at 3 weeks and 6 weeks (p < 0.05). Post-RT changes in verbal recall scores were linearly correlated with late changes in cingulum λ|| (30 weeks, p < 0.02). By receiver operating characteristic curves, early cingulum λ|| changes predicted post-RT changes in verbal recall scores (3 weeks and 6 weeks, p < 0.05). Neurocognitive test scores were significantly correlated with QOL survey results. The correlation between early diffusivity changes in the parahippocampal cingulum and the late decline in verbal recall suggests that diffusion tensor imaging may be useful as a biomarker for predicting late delayed cognitive decline.
