7T Brain MRI Scan for Micro-brain Metastasis (microBM) Detection for Patients With Small-cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Who Decline Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI)
University of Missouri-Columbia
Summary
Comparison of a 7t MRI to standard of care 1.5t/3t MRI scans to determine if earlier detection of brain metastases are possible on a 7t.
Description
This study is looking at patients diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer \& have declined prophylactic cranial irradiation. Patients must have had a 1.5t/3t MRI performed within 4 weeks of consenting to the trial that was negative for brain metastases. Patients will then undergo a 7t MRI \& be followed for their standard of care scans for 12 months or until confirmed metastases are detected. Once a patient has confirmed brain mets, their standard of care scans will be used for an analysis compared to the 7t scan to determine if earlier detection of brain micro metastases are feasible.
