Stress and brain tumor progression study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress may affect the growth of a certain brain tumor (oligodendroglioma). It aims to see if stress levels can predict how the tumor changes, which could help improve care for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need a diagnosis of a specific brain tumor called an oligodendroglioma that hasn't been treated yet.
- You must be planning to get standard treatment with chemotherapy and radiation.
- You must be generally able to care for yourself (a score of at least 70% on a standard performance scale).
- You must not have a history of mental illness, drug abuse, or alcohol abuse.
- You must be able to read, write, communicate, and walk without major help.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how psychological stress might affect the growth of a certain type of brain tumor (diffuse astrocytoma) as it changes into a more aggressive form. It may help doctors understand if stress levels can influence disease progression, which could lead to better support for patients.
This trial studies how psychological stress might affect the success of pre-surgery breast cancer treatments (neoadjuvant therapy). If you are about to start treatment and have never had cancer therapy before, this study could help doctors understand your response better.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help doctors understand and predict these changes, which could improve care.
This study looks at glioblastoma (GBM), a very aggressive brain tumor, and how “brain cell overload” (glutamate excitotoxicity) may affect tumor growth. It focuses on adults who are planned for complete tumor removal, followed by standard radiation and chemotherapy.
This study looks at whether brain scans (MRI, PET/CT) can help predict the genetic makeup of glioblastoma, without needing more tissue samples. If you join, you'll get advanced imaging to better understand your tumor and guide future treatment decisions.
This study looks at how young people with certain brain tumors respond to treatment. It aims to understand why some tumors resist therapy, which may help improve future treatments.
