Serial Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Guidance of Personalized Adaptive Radiotherapy for High Grade Glioma
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This study examines whether repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)s scan helps identify changes in the tumor during radiation and chemotherapy treatment in patients with high grade glioma. Additional MRIs scan may help researchers to see changes in the status of the disease. Seeing these changes may result in changes to the treatment plan.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the radiation dosimetric coverage of the surgical cavity and any residual tumor when the immediate post-operative MRI is used versus (vs.) newly acquired MRI prior to radiation therapy. II. To evaluate the cumulative dosimetric differences for the target volume and normal structures between an adaptive radiotherapy approach based on serial MRI vs. the conventionally delivered radiotherapy plan using the target and normal structure volumes from the initial MRI simulation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To report the incidence of tumor progression between surgery…
