Guided Meditation During Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumors
The goal of this interventional treatment study is to assess the anxiolytic effect of providing guided meditation during radiation treatment (RT) in patients with brain tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the change in acute anxiety in participants receiving the mindfulness intervention during radiation …
Detection of Brain Metastases Using a Novel Gadolinium-Weighted MRI Sequence: A Prospective Comparison
This study will evaluate a new type of MRI sequence designed to improve the visibility of brain metastases after gadolinium contrast injection. The purpose is to determine whether this novel "gadolinium-weighted" imaging method can detect more or smaller tumors than standard MRI techniques. Participants will undergo a routine brain MRI …
Feasibility of Mask-Free Radiotherapy for Brain Tumor Patients
The aim of this study is to investigate the technical feasibility of brain radiotherapy without immobilization masks using surface imaging to ensure accurate patient positioning and continuous motion monitoring.
Panitumumab-IRDye800 to Detect Pediatric Neoplasms During Neurosurgical Procedures
The objective of the study is to assess safety of panitumumab-IRDye800 in pediatric patients undergoing brain surgery to remove suspected tumors.
Brain Areas of Time-To-Contact Perception: an Awake Surgery Study
During a brain surgery targeted to remove a brain tumor, the neurosurgeon wakes up the patient to delimit the tumor area exactly, and identify the surrounding areas, to limit the surgery damages. The present project aims at testing the patient in this awake phase to determine the brain areas implied …
Ommaya Reservoir Placement for Brain Tumor Biomarker Access
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated operation for brain tumor. The Ommaya reservoir will facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of potential biomarkers for brain tumor research and individualized monitoring.
Intraoperative Fluorescence-Guided Aspirate Tissue Monitoring of 5-ALA During Brain Tumor Surgery
Gliomas are tumors that occur in all ages; they include the most common malign primary central nervous system tumors in developed countries. Gliomas are often aggressive, and their recommended treatment is surgical resection and chemoradiation. Complete tumor removal is challenging because of diffuse cell growth and the proximity of functionally …
The Effects of Intraoperative Tranexamic Acid on Perioperative Bleeding In Craniotomies
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) on reducing blood loss in participants undergoing surgery to remove brain tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does TXA 20 mg/kg IV bolus of TXA, and 1 mg/kg/hr infusion …
Super-selective Intra-arterial Repeated Infusion of Cetuximab for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Primary brain cancer kills up to 10,000 Americans a year. These brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. …
Electrocorticography in Mapping Functional Brain Areas During Surgery in Patients With Brain Tumors
This pilot clinical trial studies how well electrocorticography works in mapping functional brain areas during surgery in patients with brain tumors. Using a larger than the standard mapping grid currently used during brain tumor surgery or a high-definition grid for electrocorticogram brain mapping may help doctors to better identify which …
