Brain injury markers in children with brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at markers of brain injury in children with brain tumors who have or have not received radiation therapy, compared to healthy children. It aims to better understand how treatments affect the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 0 and 17 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a primary brain tumor (found through surgery, biopsy, or other method).
- For the radiation group: you are scheduled to receive radiation therapy for your brain tumor.
- For the no-radiation group: you are not receiving radiation therapy for your brain tumor.
- For the healthy control group: you are a child without a brain tumor or chronic disease needing daily medication.
- You can understand and agree to participate in Swedish or English.

This study looks at “brain biomarkers,” meaning brain signals measured on MRI and thinking/learning tests on a computer. It may help researchers understand how brain tumors affect the brain and track changes over time.
This study collects medical information (and sometimes tumor tissue) from people diagnosed with certain brain tumors after January 1, 2012. It aims to improve understanding of these tumors worldwide so future care can be better.
This study compares how radiation is planned to see whether it better protects thinking and memory in children and young adults. It may help future patients by learning which planning approach leads to better cognitive (thinking) outcomes.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help find ways to protect brain function during radiotherapy.
This study looks for biomarkers in your blood that might predict how radiation treatment affects brain function. The goal is to understand and possibly reduce cognitive side effects.
This study looks at how radiation from brain tumor treatment affects memory, attention, and thinking skills in children. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these effects.
