The trial evaluates the effect of a moderately increased radiation dose in patients with atypical (grade II) and anaplastic (grade III) meningioma after incomplete or no surgery. Endpoint is recurrence-free survival after 5 years.
Approximately 30% of cancer patients may experience psychopathological disorders. The most common psychopathological disorders in cancer patients are mood disorders, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and suicidal ideation. Among depressive disorders, mixed depression, with the simultaneous presence of symptoms of both depressive and manic polarity, is associated to higher levels of chronicity, functional impairment and suicidality. These disorders can also be worsened by loneliness and demoralization. Patients with head and neck cancer (H&N-C) and Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have high psychological and sometimes...
With modern therapy, the survival rate for pediatric brain tumor patients has significantly improved, with over 70% of patients surviving their disease. However, this progress often comes at the cost of substantial morbidity, with cognitive deficits being the primary obstacle to independent living. Robust predictors of cognitive decline and a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms of cognitive injury remain elusive. This study will prospectively investigate alterations in brain resting state networks following radiation therapy using functional imaging. The hypothesis is that radiation therapy leads to ...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate relationships between multiparametric imaging biomarkers and genetic analysis in glioblastoma patients.
To learn if advanced imaging methods can tell apart true progression (the disease has actually gotten worse) from pseudoprogression (the disease appears to have gotten worse, but it actually has not).
To learn if the Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 ("Exablate System") with the DEFINITY® ultrasound contrast agent can temporarily disrupt the blood brain barrier in patients with recurrent (has grown back) glioblastoma who are scheduled to receive pembrolizumab.
The purpose of this study is to determine how safe and how well-tolerated the experimental study drug, C134 is when re-administered into the brain where the tumor is located.
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) may be recommended in G1- G2 GEP-NET patients with disease progression on somatostatine analogues therapy (LUTATHERA®). However, there are several diseases, including neuroendocrine neoplasia not originating from the digestive tract, for which the efficacy of PRRT has already been demonstrated, but which are not currently within the indications of LUTATHERA and therefore cannot benefit from it (i.e. bronchopulmonary, ovarian, renal NETs and neuroendocrine carcinomas). Moreover, the role of PRRT is also accepted in Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), Meningiomas, but also as a...
This study is the first to explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 injection combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of patients with liver metastases of melanoma, in order to provide a new method for the clinical treatment of melanoma. The model also provides reference and basis for other tumor treatments.
The TRUE-GRIT study will assess the feasibility of a study protocol investigating the efficacy of a combination therapy consisting of cognitive strategy training (CST) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce cognitive impairment in adult glioma patients. This study is part of the GRIP-project, a project aimed at investigating interventions for improving quality of life in brain tumor patients.
