Cranial radiotherapy (CRT) is a known risk factor for neurocognitive impairment in survivors of childhood cancer and may increase risk for mild cognitive impairment and dementia in adulthood. We performed a cross-sectional evaluation of survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with 18 Gy (n 127) or 24 Gy (n 138) CRT. Impairment (age-adjusted score > 1 standard deviation below expected mean, two-sided exact binomial test) on the Wechsler Memory Scale IV (WMS-IV) was measured. A subset of survivors (n 85) completed structural and functional neuroimaging. Survivors who received 24 Gy, but not 18 Gy, CRT had impairment in immediate (impairment rate 33.8%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9% to 42.4%; P < .001) and delayed memory (impairment rate 30.2%, 95% CI 22.6% to 38.6%; P < .001). The mean score for long-term narrative memory among survivors who received 24 Gy CRT was equivalent to that for individuals older than 69 years. Impaired immediate memory was associated with smaller right (P .02) and left (P .008) temporal lobe volumes, and impaired delayed memory was associated with thinner parietal and frontal cortices. Lower hippocampal volumes and increased functional magnetic resonance imaging activation were observed with memory impairment. Reduced cognitive status (Brief Cognitive Status Exam from the WMS-IV) was identified after 24 Gy (18.5%, 95% CI 12.4% to 26.1%; P < .001), but not 18 Gy (8.7%, 95% CI 4.4% to 15.0%; P .11), CRT, suggesting a doseresponse effect. Employment rates were equivalent (63.8% for 24 Gy CRT and 63.0% for 18 Gy CRT). Adult survivors who received 24 Gy CRT had reduced cognitive status and memory, with reduced integrity in neuroanatomical regions essential in memory formation, consistent with early onset mild cognitive impairment.
