Molecular Analysis of Samples From Patients With Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma and Brainstem Glioma
The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect specimens from pediatric patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma or brainstem glioma, either during therapy or at autopsy, in order to characterize the molecular abnormalities of this tumor.
Amino Acid PET-based Response Assessment in IDH-mutant Gliomas (APPEAR)
Background: The radiological follow-up of diffuse gliomas is challenged by the difficult distinction of true progression from treatment-related changes. To this end, the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Working Group has issued specific recommendation for the standardized evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, positron emission tomography (PET) using …
Detection of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Neurosurgery Patients (DT-MiNi)
Plastic particles are a ubiquitous pollutant in the living environment and food chain, so far, plenty of studies have reported the internal exposure of microplastics and nanoplastics in human tissues and enclosed body fluids. Neurosurgery is the only department that can open the skull. In addition to blood and cerebrospinal …
STRatifying Adult DIffuse Lower-grade Gliomas Based on Their VARIed Metabolic Profiles (STRADIVARI Project)
The goal of this observational study is to better characterise lower-grade gliomas from a molecular and metabolic point of view, so to identify further subgroups of these tumours with different behaviour and, possibly, different treatment susceptibility. Participants of prospective metabolic cohort will be subjected to routine treatment, part of the …
The Effects of Anesthetics on Brain Network Connectivity in Patients With Supratentorial Glioma
Perioperative anesthesia can affect postoperative cognitive function. In our previous study, intraoperative dexmedetomidine (Dex) infusion reduced the incidence of delirium within the first 5 days after brain tumor. However, the mechanism is still unclear. With the development of neuroimaging, multimodal neuroimaging technology provide a new method to explore the underlying …
A Taiwanese Oncogenetic Panel and Integrated Clinical Data Registry Study for Diffuse Glioma
Glioma is a major histological subtype of primary malignant brain tumors in Taiwan, with distinct epidemiological, clinical, and pathological features comparing to the other common cancer diseases. The disease rarely appears with metastatic disease at diagnosis, and with the most malignant subtype, glioblastoma, occurs with preference in mid- to old-age. …
Diagnostic Assessment of Amino Acid PET/MRI in the Evaluation of Glioma and Brain Metastases
MRI is used in clinical routine for diagnosing brain tumors, but has limitations in identifying tumor grade, true tumor extension and differentiate viable tumor tissue from treatment induced changes and recurrences. Amino acid PET has demonstrated a great potential for defining true tumor volume, differentiate viable tumor tissue from postoperative …
A Registry-Based Cohort Study on the Clinical Outcomes of Spinal Cord Glioma Resection Via the Dorsolateral Sulcus Approach
Spinal cord gliomas are the most common type of primary intramedullary malignant tumors, with a low incidence and a peak onset age of approximately 35 years. They are slightly more prevalent in males than females. Clinical manifestations vary depending on tumor characteristics and location, typically presenting with axial pain and …
Improving Understanding of Glioblastoma Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue
To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to …
xPedite: A Study to Expedite DIPG and DMG Research
This study will gather data from new and existing patients with patient medical records, and patient/family/caregiver reported information to establish a clear natural history of disease suitable to serve as an external, contemporary or historical control arm for future therapeutic development programs of drugs, devices, or biologic interventions in DMG …
