No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research is to see if monitoring the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy will allow investigators to find cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases) before it causes symptoms.

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

MRI of the Brain

An MRI brain scan with and without gadolinium contrast. Three scans are planned for each participant.

OTHER

Blood draws

Before each MRI, participants will give about a teaspoon of blood to test for clinical purposes.

OTHER

Quality of Life Questionnaires

Participants will fill out two questionnaires about their health. These questionnaires will tell investigators about any symptoms participants may be having that might be related to cancer spreading to their brain. This will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.

DRUG

Gadolinium

Given intravenously
