MRI scan types to map brain tumor extent
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses two special types of MRI scans to better understand how far a high-grade brain tumor (aggressive brain cancer) has spread into surrounding brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors plan surgery or biopsy more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have an MRI showing signs of a high-grade glioma (aggressive brain tumor)
- You have not had surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy for this brain tumor yet
- Your doctor recommends a biopsy or surgical removal of the tumor
- You are able to have an MRI scan and are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You don't have metal implants (pacemaker, aneurysm clips) or severe kidney/liver disease

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.
This trial uses a special MRI scan that shows how “metabolism” (how cells use fuel) differs in brain tumors. It may help researchers better understand tumor biology and how tumors may respond to treatment, without using chemotherapy or radiation as part of the study.
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 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 uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
