Using brain test markers in a cancer clinic visit
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study adds special brain “biomarker” tests into routine visits for adults with brain tumors. It may help the clinic better track these cancers over time and tailor care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have a brain tumor (either a primary brain cancer or brain metastases)
- You are being followed at Miami Cancer Institute (MCI) after brain cancer treatment
- Your treatment included one or more of: brain radiation, surgery, and/or anti-cancer medicines
- Your doctor expects you may live at least 6 more months
- You are willing to take part in an ongoing registration study
- Your brain radiation was for cancer, not for a non-cancer condition

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help find ways to protect brain function during radiotherapy.
This trial studies brain scan findings to see if specific imaging markers can help understand or predict outcomes in people with brain metastases. It may help researchers improve how brain metastases are evaluated before radiation treatment.
This study looks at “brain biomarkers,” meaning brain signals measured on MRI and thinking/learning tests on a computer. It may help researchers understand how brain tumors affect the brain and track changes over time.
This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
This study looks for biomarkers in your blood that might predict how radiation treatment affects brain function. The goal is to understand and possibly reduce cognitive side effects.
