Check how well an MRI test shows spinal tumor surgery challenges
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at an MRI-type scan (called MRE) to measure stiffness and “adhesion” around spinal cord tumor surgery. It may help doctors plan surgery better by predicting what the tumor area will feel like and how it may stick to nearby tissues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor
- You can have the MRE scan and tolerate it during the test
- You must be able to give informed consent
- You should not have metal in your body (like pacemakers or metal implants) or items that can’t be removed
- You should not be in the first three months of pregnancy
- You should not have severe claustrophobia/anxiety or severe fever

This study uses a special MRI technique called 3D MRE (magnetic resonance elastography) to measure how stiff a meningioma tumor is. The goal is to see if the stiffness can help predict the tumor’s type and characteristics before surgery.
This study uses a special MRI called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to measure how stiff a brain tumor (glioma) is and how well it sticks to nearby brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors better prepare for surgery by knowing these details beforehand.
This study uses a special MRI technique called 3D MRE to look at the physical properties of vestibular schwannoma tumors (non-cancerous growths on the hearing and balance nerve) before surgery. The goal is to see if these properties can predict the tumor's features, which might help doctors plan better.
This trial uses MRI scans to study how colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver grows. It may help doctors choose better treatments.
This study looks at whether an MRI scan can replace an exercise test (CPET) to predict how well you will recover after cancer surgery. It is for people with esophageal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer who are already being considered for surgery.
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between radiation scar (radiation necrosis) and returning glioma (recurrent glioma) after prior treatment. It may help guide the next steps for care if you have a new or changing brain lesion.
