Cognitive function study in brain cancer patients
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help find ways to protect brain function during radiotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a primary brain tumor or a solid tumor that has spread to the brain (not both).
- If the cancer has spread to your brain, you have fewer than 5 spots, all smaller than 1 cm.
- You are scheduled to receive standard focused radiation to the brain.
- You have not had brain radiation before.
- Your doctor rates your physical function as 0 or 1 (you are fully active or can do light work).
- Your life expectancy after treatment is more than 2 years.
- You do not have a memory disorder or a brain disease like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
- You do not have cancer spread in the lining of the brain or in the hippocampus.

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 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 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.
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.
This study measures thinking and memory skills in women who finished breast cancer treatment. Researchers want to understand how cancer treatment affects the brain and develop better support for survivors.
