These are patients in whom a benign or malignant tumor was recorded requiring surgery. During that surgery, the surgeon will cut away the tumor as part of the treatment of the disease. In this process, it is important that the tumor is removed correctly and completely. To verify that the correct tissue was completely removed, the tissue is examined microscopically. However, a microscopic analysis takes a relatively long time and the result is not known until a few days after the surgery is completed. If that microscopic analysis should eventually reveal that the tumor was not completely removed, additional treatment is usually necessary. An assessment of the excised tissue...
This is a randomized study of the European SIOP Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) in high-risk neuroblastoma (stages 2, 3, 4 and 4s MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma, stage 4 MYCN non amplified > 12 months at diagnosis). The protocol consists of a rapid, dose intensive induction chemotherapy, peripheral blood stem cell harvest, attempted complete excision of the primary tumour, myeloablative therapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue, radiotherapy to the site of the primary tumour and immunotherapy (R4 randomization - isotretinoin and ch14.18/CHO (Dinutuximab beta, Qarziba ®).), with or without s.c. aldesleukin (IL-2)). Patients diagnosed after the closure of R3 randomization...
This phase II clinical trial studies how well craniospinal irradiation (CSI) with hippocampal avoidance, using proton therapy or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), works in treating patients with breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and meninges (thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord) (leptomeningeal metastases). Radiation therapy is an effective treatment in relieving localized symptoms caused by leptomeningeal metastases. However, the type of radiation therapy typically used does not prevent the spread of leptomeningeal disease. CSI (radiation...
Background. During the clinical course of patients with locoregionally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) who have undergone aggressive treatment, brain metastasis (BM) is a frequent seen pattern of disease relapse, which cannot be ignored. It still remains unresolved whether prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) via whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) should be recommended for NSCLC patients with stage III or pathologically nodal positive disease. Actually, PCI would significantly decrease the incidence of BM; however, potential WBRT-related neurocognitive function (NCF) sequelae are indeed a concern, which has made PCI seldom applied in clinical practice. In terms...
This registry aims to collect clinical, molecular and radiologic data including detailed clinical parameters, molecular pathology (1p/19q co-deletion, MGMT methylation, IDH and TERTp mutations, etc) and images of HE slices in primary gliomas. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this registry will seek to construct and refine histopathology image based algorithms that are able to predict molecular pathology or subgroups of gliomas.

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to assess the potential of advanced MRI for improved radiotherapy target delineation in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the coverage of the recurrence volume by a radiotherapy plan based on advanced MRI compare to the coverage by the clinical radiotherapy plan? - How does the distribution of the dose to organs at risk by a radiotherapy plan based on advanced MRI compare to the distribution by the clinical radiotherapy plan? Participants will undergo an extended MRI-protocol prior to radiotherapy. This extended MRI-protocol includes the clinical brain tumor...
This is a Multi-center, Open-label, Single-arm Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HL-085 in the treatment of Adult Participants with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and Inoperable Plexiform Neurofibromas(PN)
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the home-based intervention, HOBSCOTCH-CA, to improve the quality of life and cognitive function in Service Members, Veterans and civilians who are survivors of brain cancer or a brain tumor (CA participants). This study will also assess the ability of the HOBSCOTCH-CA program to improve quality of life in caregivers of patients with brain cancer/tumor and to reduce caregiver burden. Enrolling with a Caregiver is optional for CA participants. Investigators will compare two groups of CA participants and their Caregiver (enrolling with a Caregiver is optional): one who receives HOBSCOCTCH-CA immediately (Group 1) and another...
On average, each year in the former region, 60 new patients under the age of 18 are treated for a brain tumor, with an active post-treatment follow-up file of 350 patients. Because of the significant sequelae induced by the disease or the treatments, these patients will very often require rehabilitative care. The interest of involving the horse in the population of patients cured of a medulloblastoma but with important physical and psychological after-effects is to be able to combine a therapy using animal mediation (equitherapy) and a rehabilitation therapy based on the three-dimensional movement of the horse (hippotherapy).
