Ga-68 Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen PET/CT in Gliomas
As a part of molecular imaging, many PET tracers have been investigated in this regard. Those include 18F-FDG being glucose analogue, 18F-FLT representing nucleoside metabolism, and 18F-FDOPA, 18F-FET, 11C-MET as amino acids analogues. Among these, 18F-FDG is the most commonly used tracer due to its broader use and easy availability. However, high physiological uptake in the brain is a significant limitation. The main limitation of other tracers is the need for onsite cyclotrons for their production, making their availability difficult. So, the search for an ideal modality is still ongoing, and the latest addition to this search is a...

Glioblastoma Imaging Using a Strong Iron-like Bloodpool Contrast Medium?
Rationale: Visualization of tumor spread is of crucial importance when treating patients suffering from glioblastoma (GBM) as the success of tumor resection depends strongly on the extent of tumor infiltration. Current MRI protocols, however, cannot visualize the extent the tumor infiltration. The use of non-toxic, non-dangerous ultrasmall superparamagnetic biodegradable iron oxide (USPIO) particles as a very strong blood pool contrast agent could help visualizing this invisible infiltration Objective: To what extent, do GBMs infiltrate healthy brain tissue and can we use ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles to visualize...

Glioma Intraoperative MicroElectroCorticoGraphy
The goal of this clinical trial is to validate the safety and to assess the quality of the signals provided by newly developed micro ElectroCorticoGraphy electrodes, provided by the company Panaxium, based on conductive polymers (PEDOT:PSS) in patients suffering of gliomas during resection surgery performed in awake condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Safety of PEDOT:PSS microECoGs by assessing the rate of serious adverse events associated with their use during glioma surgery. - Quality of PEDOT:PSS microECoGs recordings, as compared with recordings with traditional macroelectrodes,...

Hereditary Pheochromocytoma Assessment of Tumour Immunologies
In this study, the investigators are examining the role of the immune system in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. The investigators aim to examine the differences in the immune system between people who have these tumors with and without a hereditary predisposition. The investigators also want to see how the immune system changes during the development of the tumor in people with a hereditary predisposition. Finally, the investigators will compare the data with a control group of people without these tumors. Ultimately, the investigators hope that the results will contribute to the discovery of new immune system-targeted...

High-dose Furmonertinib Versus Osimertinib in Advanced EGFRm NSCLC Patients With Brain Metastases
The investigators were to explore whether high-dose Furmonertinib, compared with osimertinib, could achieve longer survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastasis.

High-frequency nrTMS on the Contralateral Broca Mirror Area for Glioma Patients With Early Postoperative Aphasia
The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to determine whether the application of high frequency neuronavigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) on the contralateral of Broca's area can ameliorate glioma patients's non-fluent aphasia after tumor resection. The questions this trial is aiming to answer are: 1. Whether the nrTMS can ameliorate glioma patients' postoperative language impairements. 2. if yes, how effective nrTMS is for improving glioma patients' postoperative language function.

Hippocampal-Sparing Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment of Brain Metastases Using CyberKnife
This phase II clinical trial involves the use of hippocampal-sparing together with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the treatment of brain metastases. The standard of care in the treatment of brain metastases is cranial radiation, but this can be associated with significant neurocognitive sequelae, including reduced verbal memory, spatial memory, attention and problem solving. This can be minimized with the use of SRS, rather than whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Additionally, some of the neurotoxicity has been linked to damage in neural progenitor cells contained within the hippocampus. A recent phase III clinical trial has...
