This study seeks to investigate an evidence-based, manualized, behavioral health intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), in individuals with primary brain tumors (PBT) and insomnia. Our project will assess the feasibility and acceptability of recruitment, enrollment, data collection procedures, and retention of individuals with PBT and insomnia in the behavioral health intervention, CBT-I, and investigate the potential benefits of CBT-I within this at-risk and understudied population. In the long term, the goals are to expand treatment options for neuro-oncology patients and improve their mission readiness...
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if cCeLL imaging is as accurate as standard biopsy practices for brain tumor surgeries. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is it as accurate as standard biopsy practices? - Can it be performed faster than standard biopsy practices? Participants will consent to having their tumor tissue assessed by both cCeLL and standard biopsy procedures. There are no additional participation requirements beyond the tumor removal surgery.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are slow growing cancers, which commonly present as metastatic incurable disease. Some neuroendocrine tumours, termed functional NETs, overproduce hormones which result in a variety of symptoms. However, approximately 75% of NETs are considered non-functional meaning that they do not result in hormone overproduction. The main treatment for both functional and non-functional NETs is somatostatin analogues (SSA, a type of inhibitory hormone). These drugs slow tumour growth and reduce hormone production. Over time, the majority of patients will experience tumour growth despite treatment with SSA therapy. ...
Cutaneous melanoma is a tumor with a serious evolution if its initial diagnosis is late. Since 2011, the treatment of advanced forms involves two therapeutic approaches : targeted therapies (BRAF and MEK inhibitors) if the tumor carries a BRAF mutation or immunotherapies (anti-PD1, anti-CTLA-4) regardless of tumor BRAF mutation status. Current data support the hypothesis that combinations of agents targeting the tumor and its environment will be required for durable responses in the majority of patients. Investigators will study the role of NK lymphocytes in tumor immunosurveillance in patients undergoing first-line innovative ...
Collection of ctDNA and TCR data to predict the efficacy and prognosis of brain radiotherapy in patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a comprehensive manner
Temozolomide provided significant and clinically meaningful benefit in MGMT gene promoter methylation glioblastoma. However, in unmethylated patients, the effect of Temozolomide is limited. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of Cisplatin plus Temozolomide and Temozolomide in patients with MGMT gene promoter unmethylation glioblastoma
A prospective imaging and translational tissue study in CNS lymphoma to enable further disease characterisation and the development of potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers.
The goal of this observational study is to show the feasibility of an MRI-only workflow in brain radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is: - Is an MRI-only workflow based on deep learning sCTs feasible in clinical routine? Participants will be treated as in clinical routine, but treatment planning will be based on sCTs, that are generated from MRI images. The dosimetrical equivalence to the standard CT based workflow will be tested at several points in the study.
The purpose of this pilot study is that exosomes constitute a more interesting support for analyzes allowing a broader screening of molecular alterations to be carried out with more reliable, more sensitive and more efficient results than the reference Foundation One Liquid CDx test.
Primary brain malignant tumor has become the first lethal tumor in children and young adults, and the treatment is limited, and the prognosis of patients is poor. According to the classification of the World Health Organization, glioblastoma is divided into grade II, III and IV gliomas; The higher the degree of malignancy, the worse the clinical outcome. Among them, the most malignant, most lethal, and most common types of tumors include supratentorial glioblastoma, diffuse endopontine glioma (DIPG), medulloblastoma, and ependymoma. Its high malignancy is mainly manifested in three aspects: extremely rapid growth and obvious ...
