Abstract: Whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) has been the treatment of choice for the brain metastasis, irrespective of primary site of malignancy. Many times, parotid glands are not delineated as organs at risk, hence the dose to the parotid glands are not reported during planning of WBRT. Hence in this study we intent to see the dose received by the parotid glands during WBRT.
