Glioma

Brief summary

This proposal is for a pilot study comparing volumes of 18F-DOPA-PET avidity with contrast enhancement and T2 FLAIR on MRI. Investigators then plan to compare patterns of failure with target volumes, pre-treatment MRI changes and pre-treatment 18F-DOPA-PET.

Interventions

Contrast used in PET

RADIATIONIntensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Radiation of different intensities are aimed at the tumor from many angles. This type of radiation therapy reduces the damage to healthy tissue near the tumor

Inclusion criteria

* Age \> or equal to 18 years * ECOG PS \< or equal to 3 * Histologically confirmed or radiographic evidence of recurrent/progressive glioma. * History of radiation therapy to the brain for prior diagnosis of glioma * Planned radiation treatments at Mayo Clinic Rochester * Provide informed written consent * Willing to sign consent onto the Mayo Clinic Radiotherapy Patient Outcomes Registry and Biobanking study, IRB number 15-000136 (blood draw optional) * Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up during Active Monitoring Phase of the study.

Exclusion criteria

* More than one prior course of radiotherapy or prior prescription doses exceeding 60 Gy to re-irradiation target volumes * Unable to undergo MRI scans with contrast * Unable to undergo an 18F-DOPA-PET scan (e.g., Parkinson's Disease, taking anti dopaminergic, or dopamine agonist medication or less than 6 half-lives from discontinuance of dopamine agonists.) Note: Other potentially interfering drugs: amoxapine, amphetamine, benztropine, buproprion, buspirone, cocaine, mazindol, methamphetamine, methylphenidate, norephedrine, phentermine, phenylpropanolamine, selegiline, paroxetine, citalopram, and sertraline). If a patient is on any of these drugs, list which ones on the On-Study form. -Any of the following: * Pregnant women * Nursing women * Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

Quality of Life MDASI-BT Change From BaselineBaseline and 3 monthsQOL will be evaluated using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor Module (MDASI-BT) and fatigue will be evaluated using the MD Anderson Brief Fatigue Inventory.Measured by change from baseline to 3 month evaluation in MDASI-BT overall symptom distress score. Scores may range from 0 to 10, with 0 being 'Not present' and 10 being 'As bad as imaginable'.
