简要总结

Purpose of the study:

AIM 1: Prospectively collect pre-operative [functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetoencephalography (MEG)] and intra-operative mapping data in patients with intra-axial brain tumors to assess how well each modality predicts the location of eloquent brain function. In addition, each modality will be compared with the other.

AIM 2: Assess reorganization of eloquent brain function and plasticity in patients with intra-axial brain tumors. This will be accomplished by prospectively collecting post-operative mapping studies and neuropsychological tests to compare them to prior mapping studies as stated above.

详细描述

Any patient with a primary or metastatic brain tumor in or near an eloquent area would be eligible for participation in the study assuming no contraindications to any of the studies or operative procedure.

Pre-operative evaluation will include clinical evaluation, neuropsychological testing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain with and without contrast, fMRI, DTI tractograms, and MEG studies as well as standard pre-operative work-up.

Intra-operative procedures include all non-invasive pre-operative mapping data being incorporated into the operative procedure with imaging tools that are routinely used during neurosurgical procedures. Participants will have awake mapping performed. Usual standards of care will be followed during craniotomy, mapping, and tumor resection or biopsy.

Post-operative procedures include routine post-operative care and assessment consisting of clinical examinations and imaging obtained within 24 hours post-resection. Participants will have routine follow-up outpatient appointments after surgery which will include neurologic assessment and follow-up imaging (MRI with and without contrast) for their tumors as appropriate. The experimental portion of the protocol is incorporating repeat neuropsychological testing and mapping studies (fMRI, DTI, MEG) studies at 2 and 6 months post-surgery into their routine follow-up.

结局指标

主要结局

Eloquent function

时间窗: 1 year

The location of the eloquent function of interest (motor, sensory, speech) will be assessed pre-operatively and intra-operatively and compared. Then, at 2 and 6 months post-operatively, repeat non-invasive mapping studies will be performed to compare to the subjects' prior studies. This will allow for assessment of reorganization and plasticity of function. Additionally, novel ways of identifying eloquent brain regions will be developed.
