About this trial

The goal of this multicenter prospective longitudinal study is to study the long-term impact of multimodal treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery) in adult brain and base of skull tumors on neurocognitive functioning.

All included patients will complete a self-report inventory (subjective cognitive functioning, QoL, confounders), a cognitive test battery, an advanced MR at multiple timepoints. Moreover, toxicity will be scored according to the CTCAEv5.0 in these patients over time.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Disqualifiers

Incompletely resected IDH-wild-type glioma

Completely resected IDH-wild-type and MGMT-promotor unmethylated glioma

grade III meningioma

H3K27M+ midline glioma
