Objective of the study is to determine possibilities of intraoperative sonography in detecting of various brain mass lesions, assessing extent of their resection and define indications to use ultrasound-guided needle or ultrasound wire-guided port.
Patients with brain tumours experience a loss of independence, which may occur suddenly or gradually. Communication with the patient may be rapidly impaired, due to impaired alertness, language and/or neurocognitive disorders. In addition to these clinical symptoms, there is a high level of anxiety and depression in this population due to the severity of the diagnosis, with a major impact on the patients' quality of life. In this study, we are mainly interested in the proportion of this population with communication disorders where speech therapy is important In order to better take into account anxiety, which is often difficult to...
The goal of this patient registry is to describe risk factors for bad prognosis of melanoma in Spain. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To describe socioeconomical individual risk factors associated with melanoma prognosis, such as gender, residence area or socioeconomic level. - To describe potentially modifiable characteristics of health care associated with prognosis, such as waiting times, type of centre that makes the diagnosis or use of teledermatology Participants data will be gathered for analysis, without any change in the way that they are being treated.
This study aims to pool the clinical experience of Spanish centers treating patients with 177Lu-DOTATATE to evaluate the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of the drug in routine clinical practice and to learn about the profiles of patients and tumors treated and the results in each type of patient and tumor.
To learn how altered metabolism in GBM causes tumor growth and resistance to drug therapy. In this pilot research study, we will dose GBM patients with a form of nicotinamide (a natural vitamin) that we can track. The nicotinamide will be converted to methyl nicotinamide (MeNAM) in the tumor. We will measure how fast the nicotinamide is converted to methyl nicotinamide. We believe that the speed of this chemical reaction in the tumor (fast versus slow) may be correlated with GBM aggressiveness
This is a pediatric basket study to investigate the safety and efficacy of afamitresgene autoleucel in HLA-A*02 eligible and MAGE-A4 positive subjects aged 2-21 years of age with advanced cancers
The study is designed to develop and test new Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods that can improve the characterization of brain cancer and facilitate improved clinical care of these participants.
This trial studies how well spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided proton therapy works in assessing metabolic change in pediatric patients with brain tumors. The non-invasive imaging, such as spectroscopic MRI may help to map the differences in tumor metabolism compared to healthy tissue without injection of any contrast agent.
The purpose of this research is to find hidden cancer with an experimental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan called spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). That spectroscopic MRI scan will be used to increase the area of the brain receiving radiation and then the dose of radiation in attempt to kill more of the cancer. Proton radiotherapy and bevacizumab (Avastin) are used to minimize the possible side effects of this approach.
This phase II trial compares the effect of single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery to fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (metastatic brain disease). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a form of radiation therapy that focuses high-power energy on a small area of the body. This trial is being done to determine if single (one) fraction stereotactic radiosurgery is better than fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery or vice versa in controlling tumor and side effects in patients with tumors that have spread to the brain.
