Brain surgery and your mind: new study tracks thinking changes after meningioma removal
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at how memory, attention, and other thinking skills change in people who have surgery to remove a meningioma (a type of brain tumor) from the front or side of the brain. Researchers will test cognitive function before surgery and one year later in about 50 adults…

Brain zap study: will precision radiation save your memory?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether precise radiation (SRS or SBRT) can help preserve thinking and memory in people with multiple brain tumors that have spread from other cancers. About 90 adults with 1 to 10 brain metastases will get radiation and then take thinking tests over 4 months.…

Lung germ shifts may predict pneumonia in brain surgery ICU patients
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowAfter brain surgery, many patients need a breathing machine in the ICU. This study will follow 220 such patients to see how the natural bacteria in their lungs change over time. Researchers will collect airway samples and use advanced lab tests to link those changes to the risk o…

New imaging test may help doctors track brain tumor treatment
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether a special PET scan (using 18F-Fluciclovine) can help doctors see if brain tumors are responding to radiation treatment. About 46 adults with brain metastases will get the scan before and after stereotactic radiosurgery. The goal is to find a better w…

AI could make radiation therapy more precise by tracking tumors in real time
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is developing an AI system that tracks tumors and organs during radiation therapy without needing physical markers. Researchers will use existing patient data to train and test the AI. If it works, it could help doctors target radiation more accurately. The study invol…

New MRI technique could sharpen radiation for deadly brain tumors
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether special MRI scans can identify low-oxygen (hypoxic) areas in glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Researchers will compare these scans with a standard PET imaging method in 20 participants. The goal is to see if MRI can reliably guide radiation …

Sugar tracer reveals brain tumor secrets in new study
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study gives patients with a new brain mass a safe, non-radioactive sugar tracer before surgery to see how their tumor uses energy. Researchers will analyze the tumor tissue and compare it with MRI scans to find patterns that could help identify aggressive tumor cells. The go…
