Thinking changes after radiotherapy for brain and skull-base tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older at diagnosis
- Have a primary brain or base-of-skull tumor that can receive standard radiation in small doses (not special high-dose schedules)
- Be able to complete thinking tests and questionnaires (you can do the tasks and speak/read Dutch enough)
- Be able to have an MRI scan (no severe claustrophobia and no certain implanted metal devices)
- Your tumor should not fit specific higher-risk categories listed by the study, and you should not need whole-brain/entire-spine radiation (craniospinal) or whole-ventricle radiation
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial tests a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and cognitive strategy training to help improve memory and thinking in people with glioma. If you have a stable brain tumor and notice problems with focus or memory, you may be able to join.
This study follows adults with a primary brain tumor to understand how thinking skills and brain images change over time during radiation therapy. It may help researchers measure treatment effects and better track brain changes.
This study compares different radiation methods for treating a slow-growing, non-cancerous brain tumor at the base of the skull. It aims to see which approach best protects memory and thinking abilities.
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 how brain tumors and their treatments affect memory, thinking, and daily function. It aims to understand these effects to better support patients.
This trial studies how radiation therapy affects thinking and memory in adults with certain brain tumors. It may help doctors understand which patients are more likely to have cognitive side effects and how to measure them over time.
