Application of New Technologies in the Resection of Intracranial Tumors
Main Outcome: To assess the effectiveness of new intraoperative technologies in the resection of intracranial tumors. Design: Prospective observational study. Method: Prospective observational study of the use and effectiveness of intraoperative neuronavigation ultrasound, intraoperative tractography, intraoperative fluorescence, advanced neuronavigation and intraoperative neurophysiology in the resection of intracranial supratentorial tumors. Number of patients: 70 - 100. Duration of the study: 3 years. Ethical considerations: The study will be carried out following the international ethical recommendations for...

A Prospective Study of the Impact of Hippocampal Avoidance During Whole Brain Radiotherapy on Neurocognitive Function Decline
Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has long been a practical and effective therapeutic modality for various settings of management in radiation oncology. For example, the indications for WBRT should include brain metastasis or metastases, the setting of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) used mainly for patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer, and even some patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The rationales for WBRT are essentially based on that it can target both microscopic and gross intracranial disease. In addition to providing rapid alleviation of neurologic symptoms and enhanced intracranial disease...

Assessment of Eloquent Function in Brain Tumor Patients
Purpose of the study: AIM 1 Prospectively collect pre-operative (fMRI, DTI, MEG) and intra-operative mapping data in patients with intra-axial brain tumors to assess how well each modality predicts the location of eloquent brain function. In addition, each modality will be compared with the other. AIM 2 Assess reorganization of eloquent brain function and plasticity in patients with intra-axial brain tumors. This will be accomplished by prospectively collecting post-operative mapping studies and neuropsychological tests to compare them to prior mapping studies as stated above.

Assessment of LET-Based Models and Changes Seen on Brain Imaging in Pediatric Patients Following Proton Therapy for Primary Central Nervous System or Base of Skull Tumors
This trial gathers information from patients with primary central nervous system or base of skull tumors that receive proton beam therapy and see if certain imaging techniques can help detect radiation-related changes over time. This study may help providers learn more about proton beam radiotherapy and how to improve the way it is delivered.

Assessment of Primary and Metastatic Brain Tumor Hypoxia With Fluoromisonidazole, FDG and Water
Purpose of Study This exploratory clinical study will investigate FMISO (fluoromisonidazole) in patients with (1) newly diagnosed primary malignant brain tumors (WHO [World Health Organization] Grade III or IV glial-based tumors) who have not had a complete surgical resection and by contrast MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) have residual tumor > 1.0 cm in diameter and will be receiving radiotherapy or (2) newly diagnosed brain metastasis (> 1.0 cm in diameter who will be receiving radiotherapy. The ability to accurately assess tumor hypoxia and accurately determine the amount/degree of tumor hypoxia could potentially change patient...

A Study Comparing Two Carboplatin Containing Regimens for Children and Young Adults With Previously Untreated Low Grade Glioma
This study is trying to learn and understand if the chemotherapy drug called carboplatin works as well as the standard therapy. The standard therapy for Low Grade Glioma (LGG) in children and young adults is using a combination of carboplatin and vincristine. Studies in children have shown that the use of carboplatin alone has promise of being just as effective for treating LGG as standard therapy. Additionally, this study will try to understand if treatment with carboplatin alone is associated with an improved quality of life for LGG patients and their families.

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy of the Combination of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy With the Anti-PDL1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Durvalumab in NSCLC Patients With 1 to 4 Brain Metastases
This study is a phase II, multicenter, randomized and comparative study designed to evaluate whether the combination of hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy with the anti-PD-L1 Durvalumab in patients with brain metastases from NSCLC (Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma) improves brain tumor control compared to hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy alone. Patients will be assigned in one of the two following arms: - Arm A (control arm): radiotherapy alone - Arm B (Experimental arm): combined treatment radiotherapy with anti-PD-L1 durvalumab Total duration of treatment will be 12 months (at maximum in the...
