High-grade gliomas represent 60 to 70% of adult glial tumors and are highly aggressive with average survival from 12 to 15 months for glioblastomas (WHO grade IV gliomas) and from 2 to more than 5 years for WHO grade III gliomas. The treatment of initial stage high-grade gliomas is made with the most complete excision surgery possible followed by adjuvant radiochemotherapy or an exclusive radiochemotherapy if excision is impossible. Most often, these treatments are followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Treatment of recurrence is most often re-irradiation according to stereotaxic modalities. Determination of the volumes to be...
The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of the CEST sequence would have diagnostic performance equivalent to the reference method of T2* infusion with contrast injection in the diagnosis of radionecrosis of lung cancer brain metastases.
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare disease that could be difficult to diagnose. So it necessary to obtain numerous sample from different disease to develop more specific diagnosis kit It could be possible through the characterisation of new genetic biomarkers.
Visualization of the tissue microstructure during neurosurgery using a non destructive handheld imaging technology producing a real time digital image ("optical biopsy") at cellular resolution is a novel method that holds great promise for optimization and improvement of the surgical treatment of brain pathologies, brain tumors in particular. The goal of this project is to investigate and assess the ease of use of the CONVIVO FDA cleared system in discriminating healthy and abnormal tissues during in vivo use on the brain during neurosurgery in 30 patients with a working diagnosis of intrinsic brain tumors.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if analysis of PET/CT scans and testing of blood samples in people with melanoma that has spread in their body can help researchers determine which patients are more or less likely to respond to immunotherapy and are more or less likely to have side effects. 24 participants will be enrolled and be on study until approximately 4 weeks after their first dose of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor therapy.
the creation of a clinical database including data for all PCNST patients is of high interest. This database will allow us to develop clinical studies on: - The clinical, radiological and biological presentation of tumors, the impact of oncological treatments and the evaluation of survival for the different subtypes of Primary central nervous system tumors (PCNST). This is particularly important for rare histological subtypes of PCNST for which the current knowledge is scarce; - Clinical, radiological and biological factors predictive of tumor response to treatments; - Prognostic factors.
This study was conducted to evaluate the 2-year progression free survival rate of elderly patients with primary CNS lymphoma followed by combination of rituximab and methotrexate followed by rituximab and cytarabine.
A single-center, open-label, non-randomized phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerance of crizanlizumab monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced glioblastoma (GB) who exhausted standard of care (SOC) therapy, patients with metastatic brain melanoma (MBM) and patients with newly diagnosed unmethylated GB. Subjects will be screened for up to 28 days prior to treatment initiation. Eligible subjects will be allocated to one of 3 cohorts: Cohort 1: Patients with metastatic melanoma with primarily diagnosed or newly progressing brain metastases who failed immunotherapy. ...
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Tislelizumab plus lenvatinib in patients with melanoma liver metastasis.
The aim of this study is to find out whether the combination of two approved drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab, in combination with cryoablation are safe and effective for participants who have an unresectable melanoma that is resistant, or is growing, after receiving immunotherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Cryoablation (an interventional radiology procedure that freezes part of a tumor) - Ipilimumab (an immunotherapy) - Nivolumab (an immunotherapy)
