Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The researchers think that the use of advanced MR imaging may help people with this disease, because it may better predict areas within a malignant glioma (brain tumor) that are at a high risk of recurring. WeThe reserchers are doing this study to see whether this advanced imaging is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with brain tumors.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- MRI
- description
- 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.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- To assess the utility of baseline advanced MRI & changes between baseline & follow up advanced MRI in predicting high risk areas that are likely to develop progressive glioma despite chemoradiotherapy.
- timeFrame
- 1 -7 weeks before radiation treatment, about two months after treatment, and about every two months thereafter for the duration of the study.
