Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study looks at whether a computer model can analyze routine brain MRI scans to predict if a lung cancer that has spread to the brain has certain genetic changes (EGFR or ALK). The goal is to see if this noninvasive method can replace the need for a brain tumor biopsy to guid…

New Brain-Mapping tool could prevent nerve damage during radiation
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study tests whether a non-invasive brain-mapping tool called nTMS can help doctors plan radiation treatment for brain tumors near the motor cortex—the area that controls movement. About 22 adults who already had radiation for brain tumors will undergo nTMS to see if it provi…
