Pilot Study to Assess Mean Lesion Stiffness of Radiation Necrosis and Recurrent Glioma Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) in Patients With Previously Treated Gliomas
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This trial uses magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to estimate tissue stiffness (hardness or softness of the tissue) in tissue that is affected by radiation treatment (radiation necrosis) and tumor tissue that has come back (recurrent) after treatment in patients with gliomas. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRE, may estimate the differences in tissue stiffness between radiation necrosis and recurrent glioma post treatment and ultimately lead to a more accurate diagnosis and/or surgery, and/or a better assessment of the disease's response to treatment.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the mean lesion stiffness in patients with radiation necrosis using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). II. To estimate the mean lesion stiffness in patients with glioma recurrence using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To investigate the mean lesion stiffness between radiation necrosis and glioma recurrence. OUTLINE: Patients undergo MRE over 10 minutes and then undergo standard of care magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain with and without contrast at baseline. Within 4 weeks after the initial MRI and MRE scans…
