Standardised evaluation of baseline data regarding tumor-, patient- and treatment-characteristics as well as follow-up data regarding tumor- and clinical-outcome of neuro-oncology patients treated with radical/curative radiotherapy. Motive: Currently there is limited data on dose-effect relationships of tissues and structures in and around the brain. This lack of knowledge hampers patient selection for proton therapy, technique innovations, and accurate prediction of treatment outcome. Goal: To evaluate the selection for radiation treatment, obtain more knowledge on dose-effect relationships and enable insight in necessary treatment technique innovations that...
The goal of this project is to develop and validate a reproducible scorecard for the neurological assessment of patients with leptomeningeal metastases that can be used in clinical trials including such patients, as well as in clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether newly diagnosed high-grade glioma(s) that cannot be removed surgically change as a result of the study treatment; and to identify and evaluate the potential side effects (good and bad) of the study treatment in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma(s) that cannot be removed surgically.
This study is a prospective observational study evaluating the natural history of coronary plaque burden in participants with melanoma treated with ICI. The study will be conducted at various sites across Australia.
At present, cerebral vasospasm (cVS) is the main cause of delayed cerebral infarction (DCI), which leads to high disability and mortality rate after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. As a consequence, the key of reducing DCI is to prevent cVS. But unfortunately, despite years of efforts, the prevention and treatment of cVS is still a major clinical dilemma and various ways of treatment are still being explored. Recent studies have shown that stellate ganglion block (SGB) can dilate cerebral vessels and alleviate the impact of existing cVS. However, there is no study to evaluate the effect of early application of SGB on the improvement and prevention of cVS after aSAH.
The study aims at: 1. Perform a multilayer analysis relying on tight integration of in-depth multi-omics approaches with clinical data to discover immune markers, with attention to age and sex differences, predicting prognosis and defining key life/environmental elements, to guide AI-driven personalised treatments and ensure improved care and QoL of glioblastoma patients. 2. To deepen glioblastoma knowledge through the study of glioblastoma stem cell cultures and to assess the sensitivity of glioblastoma stem cell cultures to a number of chemotherapeutics in different experimental conditions. 3. To create a comprehensive,...
This trial studies the feasibility of monitoring step count as a measure of physical activity in patients with newly diagnosed glioma undergoing radiation therapy. Physical activity measured by step count may help to improve the quality of life and symptoms for patients with newly diagnosed glioma.
This phase II trial studies the clinical outcomes of hypofractionated radiation therapy in patients with diffuse midline gliomas. This study aims to change the way radiation is delivered, from giving 6 weeks of radiation all at once to giving 2 weeks of radiation. This may determine if there is a difference in the outcome of the treatment, and most importantly, the patients' quality of life.
This is a Phase II study to determine the efficacy of SBRT to treat liver metastases in patients with Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma of the Anal Canal and Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors that are not amenable to surgery. Patients should have no evidence of extra-hepatic disease or have disease that is planned to be treated with curative intent. Therefore, SBRT is being considered as a potentially curative procedure.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AGuIX (Activation and Guidance of Irradiation by X-ray) gadolinium-based nanoparticles make radiation work more effectively in the treatment of patients with brain metastases that are more difficult to control with stereotactic radiation alone.
