The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if furmonertinib plus anlotinib works to treat participants with lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutations and brain metastases. It will also learn about the safety of furmonertinib plus anlotinib. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does furmonertinib plus anlotinib increase the number of participants who has a significant tumor shrinkage? - What medical problems do participants have when taking furmonertinib plus anlotinib? Researchers will evaluate the safety and efficacy of furmonertinib plus anlotinib. Participants will: - Take furmonertinib(every day) and anlotinib(two weeks on and one week...
As a part of molecular imaging, many PET tracers have been investigated in this regard. Those include 18F-FDG being glucose analogue, 18F-FLT representing nucleoside metabolism, and 18F-FDOPA, 18F-FET, 11C-MET as amino acids analogues. Among these, 18F-FDG is the most commonly used tracer due to its broader use and easy availability. However, high physiological uptake in the brain is a significant limitation. The main limitation of other tracers is the need for onsite cyclotrons for their production, making their availability difficult. So, the search for an ideal modality is still ongoing, and the latest addition to this search is a radio ligand labeled Prostate Specific...
This research study involves the study of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with MGMT-methylated glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) that are undergoing standard chemoradiation. The study aims to evaluate G-CSF's effects on brain health and cognitive function. The name of the study drugs involved in this study are: - G-CSF (also called Filgrastim) - Temozolomide (TMZ), a standard of care chemotherapy drug
This study aims at assessing the role of MerlinTM and ctDNA in predicting the nodal status in patients with >pT3b melanoma, therefore candidate for adjuvant therapy regardless of sentinel lymph node status.
Gliomas are common primary brain tumors in adults. Gliomas can be classified into different types based on tumor grade, histopathological features, and molecular characteristics. The common types of diffuse gliomas include glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma. The standard treatment for diffuse gliomas includes surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. As per standard institutional practice, a uniform dose of radiation is delivered to the disease area and MRI is done before and after the treatment. In this study, MRI and PET scan will be done before starting the treatment and standard dose of radiation will be delivered. The interval imaging will be done...
The goal of this clinical trial is to validate the safety and to assess the quality of the signals provided by newly developed micro ElectroCorticoGraphy electrodes, provided by the company Panaxium, based on conductive polymers (PEDOT:PSS) in patients suffering of gliomas during resection surgery performed in awake condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Safety of PEDOT:PSS microECoGs by assessing the rate of serious adverse events associated with their use during glioma surgery. - Quality of PEDOT:PSS microECoGs recordings, as compared with recordings with traditional macroelectrodes, assessed by signal-to-noise ratio, impedance, ability ...
The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. T-cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat participants with cancers. They have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most participants. The study team has found from previous research that we...
This is a single-center, single-arm observational study in which the investigators aim to develop an advanced motion control system for head stabilization in patients undergoing whole brain radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study was to explore the predictive value of the heterogeneity of 68Ga-FAPI PET-CT uptake before treatment on the response of T-DXd treatment in patients with brain metastases of HER2-positive breast cancer. The patient underwent 68Ga-FAPI PET-CT examinations within 2 weeks before and after 2 cycles of T-DXd treatment. Heterogeneity index, SUVmax, SUVmean and other uptake values were collected to investigate the association with efficacy of T-DXd.
[Background] For newly-diagnosed patients with brain metastases (BMs), conventional whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) might still remain a common palliative management. However, WBRT-related late consequences, particularly a decline in neurocognitive functions (NCFs), are a major concern. Actually, WBRT-related neurocognitive dysfunction is usually characterized as deterioration involving learning and memory, in which the extremely radiosensitive hippocampus indeed plays a critical role. To postpone the occurrence and mitigate neurocognitive impairments associated with conventional WBRT, there have been some strategies in the clinical practice of radiation oncology. Among them,...
