Neurocognitive Impact and Dose-Effect Relationship of Hippocampal Avoidance During Whole Brain Radiotherapy Plus Simultaneous Integrated Boost - A Prospective Follow-up Study
For newly-diagnosed patients with brain metastasis, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) probably remains a common palliative management even for those with oligometastatic brain disease. However, WBRT-related late sequelae, particularly a decline in neurocognitive functions (NCFs), are a major concern. More importantly, in patients with limited brain metastases and a fair/good …
A Study Comparing GLIADEL to Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Metastatic Brain Disease
This study is being done to see if adding GLIADEL to the site where the tumor was removed works as well as just having the tumor removed with radiation treatment done within six weeks after the surgery to keep the cancer from coming back.
Optimizing Neurocognition With Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) Using Upfront Pulsed Reduced Dose-Rate (PRDR) Technique
Study patients will receive Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) - pulsed reduced dose rate (PRDR) within 14 days of registration. All patients will receive single daily fractions using 3D conformal radiotherapy. A dose of 30 Gy in 10 fractions will be delivered using the PRDR technique.
Phase II Trial of the PARP Inhibitor Niraparib and PD-1 Inhibitor Dostarlimab in Patients With Advanced Cancers With Active Progressing Brain Metastases (STARLET)
To learn if the combination of niraparib and dostarlimab can help to control advanced cancer that has spread to the brain.
Stereotactic Radiation & Abemaciclib in the Management of HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Brain Metastases
This is a single arm study of abemaciclib and endocrine therapy with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) among patients with hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer brain metastases.
Reducing the Incidence of Symptomatic Brain Metastases With MRI Surveillance
The purpose of this research is to see if monitoring the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy will allow investigators to find cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases) before it causes symptoms.
Improving Therapeutic Ratio With Hypo Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastases
Randomized phase II trial. The study aims to investigate a different and potentially safer radio therapeutic treatment method for brain metastases. The current standard of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in one or three fractions is compared to fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT) in five fractions.
A Prospective Study of the Impact of Hippocampal Avoidance During Whole Brain Radiotherapy on Neurocognitive Function Decline
Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has long been a practical and effective therapeutic modality for various settings of management in radiation oncology. For example, the indications for WBRT should include brain metastasis or metastases, the setting of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) used mainly for patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer, …
Neurocognitive Functioning With Genu-Sparing Whole Brain Radiation Therapy for Brain Metastases
This is a trial that evaluates the preservation of cognition and neuropsychiatric function following genu-sparing whole brain radiation in patients with brain metastases.
Detection and Metabolic Characterization in DOPA PET/CT of Brain Metastases
About 20 to 30% of patients treated for cancer will have brain metastases. These brain metastases are found more frequently in patients with lung cancer, breast cancer or melanoma. The prognosis of these patients is unfavorable but prolonged survival can be obtained with the local and systemic treatments currently available. …
