Evaluating Advanced MRI Methods for Adapting Radiation Therapy for Patients with Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma

Trial Status: active

This study evaluates advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for adapting radiation therapy for patients with newly diagnosed high grade glioma (HGG). Treatment of newly diagnosed HGG includes surgical removal of tumor, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy with the drug temozolomide. Despite these aggressive measures, nearly all cases come back (recur), and recurrences are typically within the area where radiation therapy was delivered. This study will allow researchers to compare adaptive radiation therapy plans based on changes when using advanced MRI methods to standard of care, non-adaptive plans.
