Intra-pemetrexed Plus Third-generation Small Molecule TKI Drugs (e.g. 'Osimertinib') Versus Third-generation Small Molecule TKI Drugs Alone for Leptomeningeal Metastasis From Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation-Positive Non-Small-cell Lung Cancer
Intrathecal chemotherapy is one of the mainstay treatment options for leptomeningeal metastases. Pemetrexed is one of the first-line chemotherapeutic agents for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since 2017, intrathecal pemetrexed has shown good efficacy for patients with leptomeningeal metastases from NSCLC. It has been recommended as the preferred drug …
ASL in Brain Metastasis MRI Following Gamma Knife Treatment
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive MRI technique that could help the radiologists to distinguish brain metastasis progression versus radionecrosis following gamma-knife treatment. The primary target of the study is to establish the diagnostic performances (specificity, sensitivity) of quantitative measures of ASL in brain metastases suspected of progression/radionecrosis after …
Phase I Study of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy
There is a lack of prospective trial data and consensus guidelines describing the use of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (FSRT) in the treatment of brain metastases. There has been no prospective dose escalation study performed to date to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in patients treated with FSRT. Prescription …
Intraoperative Radiotherapy in Patients With Brain Metastases
Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a new alternative for local radiotherapy with the advantages of dose escalation, reduced overall treatment time, and enhanced patient convenience, however the degree of efficacy is unknown, as well as and which is the most efficient dose. The objective of this study is to evaluate the …
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.
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.
Proton Cranio-spinal Irradiation for Leptomeningeal Metastasis
Leptomeningeal metastasis is a rare but serious complication to cancer, with a grave prognosis. No efficient treatment exists. Recent data suggest that craniospinal radiotherapy lead to superior survival and CNS control compared to focal photon radiotherapy. We want to offer Danish patients the new treatment, but within a protocol, as …
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, …
