Liquid Biopsy
for Brain Tumor
Improved outcomes for high-grade gliomas (HGG) require advances in our ability to monitor changes to tumour biology using non-surgical approaches. "Liquid biopsy" is a term used to describe a technique whereby tumour DNA, which has been shed off and then circulates through the blood stream, is detected and analyzed. Our goal is to develop a new type of liquid biopsy that is suitable for primary brain tumours that uses a method that is highly sensitive and allows for ongoing analysis of these tumours.

Radiation Therapy
for Brain Cancer
This study will be a dual-arm prospective longitudinal cohort study for patients with brain metastases, at least one of which is appropriate for radiotherapy, to explore brain and cognitive changes following SRS or WBRT and evaluate the feasibility of a novel MRI protocol to identify potential radiological biomarkers of NCF decline. Patients diagnosed with brain mets will be assigned to either Arm A or Arm B, depending on their treatment plan. Patients in Arm A will be treated with SRS. Patients in Arm B will be treated with WBRT. Patients' neurocognitive function will be assessed before their radiation treatment and followed up for 2 years post treatment.

Brain Imaging Biomarkers
for Brain Metastases
A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of some disease state. In this study, brain metastases patients who will be receiving radiation treatment, will undergo CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans prior to and after radiation treatment to measure these biomarkers. This is a single-center phase II study to validate the predictive abilities of biomarkers, in terms of determining how patients will respond to radiation treatment.
