Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
MRI
The advanced MRI studies will be obtained at the time of the routinely scheduled preoperative planning MRI and/or the routinely scheduled pre-RT planning MRI at approximately 3±2 weeks after surgery. The routine sequences obtained for the planning MRI are standard of care. The advanced MRI sequences may or may not be additional as some have already been adopted into the standard of care imaging at MSKCC.
MRI and advanced MRI sequences
This is a nonrandomized study in which each patient will receive the standard clinical care (in the form of surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy), as per the treating physician. Surgical resection will be performed at the discretion of the treating Neurooncologist and/or Neurooncology Tumor Board. Advanced brain MRIs with the 2 (or, in some cases, 3) special sequences will be obtained at the time of the clinically scheduled contrast MRIs, which are usually obtained immediately prior to and 1 months±3 weeks after radiation therapy if the patient requires radiation therapy for his/her tumor. The advanced brain MRI may also be obtained before surgery for suspected or confirmed gliomas, as per the standard of care, in some patients who may or may not require radiation therapy.
