Cognitive Function After Radiation Therapy for Primary Brain Tumours
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
RT is fundamental in the treatment of primary brain tumours. RT contributes to improved local control and prolonged progression-free survival in patients with a broad range of tumour types. Irradiation to the normal brain may lead to cognitive impairments. Clarifying the nature and severity of impairment in adult RT-treated brain tumour patients, including region-specific effects, are important for optimal utilization of novel conformal RT technologies such as proton therapy.
The study is a prospective nationwide study including approximately 300 brain tumour patients from the Danish Center of Particle Therapy and the four Neuro Oncology Centers in Denmark.
The patients will be assessed with a comprehensive battery of standardized cognitive tests and complete a questionnaire (PRO's). They will do this prior to RT treatment and 1, 3, 5 and 10 years afterwards. The PRO's includes measures on quality of life, fatigue, sleep, depression, anxiety, and socio demographics. The standardized tests are: Trail making Test (TMT); Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT); Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) - Animals and S; Coding and Digit Span from WAIS-IV. The correlation between cognitive scores and RT dose-volume parameters to specific areas in the brain will be tested.
This study will elucidate the dose-response relationship in radiation-induced damage to substructures of the brain such as hippocampus, thalamus, temporal and frontal lobes that will allow the clinician to prioritize these structures in planning of proton radiotherapy.
