Brain function study for people with brain tumors
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 doctors understand and predict these changes, which could improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a primary brain tumor or a solid tumor that has spread to the brain.
- If your cancer has spread to the brain, you have fewer than 5 spots, each smaller than 1 cm.
- You are scheduled to receive standard radiation therapy to the brain.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the brain before.
- You are in good overall health, able to care for yourself, and expected to live more than 2 years.

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 brain tumors and their treatments affect memory, thinking, and daily function. It aims to understand these effects to better support patients.
This study collects blood (and looks at samples) from adults who have a confirmed brain tumor, either one that started in the brain or one that spread to the brain. The goal is to understand biomarkers—signals in the body—that may help improve diagnosis or tracking over time.
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
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 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.
