Predicting brain tumor genetics with MRI
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to predict key genetic markers and outcomes in people with high-grade gliomas (aggressive brain tumors). If you are between 18 and 70 years old and have been diagnosed or are suspected of having a high-grade glioma, this research may help better understand your tumor without extra procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a high-grade glioma (WHO grade III or IV) or your doctor suspects you have one.
- You are able to undergo an MRI scan for about 40 minutes, and you don't have severe claustrophobia or allergies to MRI contrast dye.
- You have not had radiation or chemotherapy before your surgery.
- You do not have any other serious illnesses or a history of other cancers.
- Your tumor tissue has been tested for certain genetic markers (like IDH, MGMT, and others) or you are willing to have them checked.

This study uses special MRI techniques to better understand how a high-grade brain tumor spreads into nearby brain tissue. The information may help doctors plan safer and more effective tumor removal.
This early-stage study measures electrical brain activity during brain tumor surgery to see if it can predict tumor return or progression. You may be offered the additional measurements while your surgeon removes a suspected or known high-grade glioma.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to study the genetics of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors better understand your tumor and choose the right treatment. You can join if you have a suspected or confirmed low- or high-grade glioma that still has a measurable tumor after surgery.
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 whether MRI scans can predict how a type of brain tumor called glioma will behave. It may help doctors plan better treatment in the future.
This study is testing a new way of using MRI scans to see which parts of a brain tumour are low on oxygen. This could help doctors target radiation therapy more precisely and improve treatment for people with fast-growing brain tumours.
