Advanced MRI for brain tumor recurrence or radiation damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better tell the difference between a returning brain tumor and radiation injury. It may help guide your treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a brain tumor that started somewhere else in your body (metastatic).
- You are scheduled for surgery, a biopsy, or laser treatment, OR you are scheduled for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
- You do not have severe kidney problems or any reason you cannot get an MRI.

This study uses MRI scans to learn more about the biology of glioblastoma before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the tumor behaves and improve future treatments.
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
This trial tests whether using advanced MRI scans before radiation therapy can help doctors target the tumor more precisely and possibly improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma. It aims to make radiation treatment more personalized.
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 study uses MRI scans to figure out whether an enlarging spot in the brain after stereotactic (focused) radiation is still living tumor or dead tissue. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening after radiation and guide next treatment decisions.
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.
