A study looking at how glioma brain tumours behave

Overview

Cancer types:

Brain (and spinal cord) tumours

Status:

Closed

Phase:

Other

Details

This study is using MRI scans to look at how glioma brain tumours behave.

Doctors tend to treat all gliomas in the same way. But not all gliomas behave in the same way. If doctors knew how a glioma was going to behave they could choose the treatment best suited to it.

The researchers in this trial want to use MRI scans to try and find out more about how individual high grade gliomas behave.

The aims of this study are to:

  • Find out more about high grade gliomas behave

  • Further develop MRI scans as a tool in deciding treatment for gliomas

Recruitment start: 30 July 2010

Recruitment end: 31 December 2018
