Official Title: Brain Imaging to Predict Toxicity in Elderly Patients After Radiotherapy
Brief Summary:
The investigators' aim with the BRITER study is to produce a way of predicting who might be more or less likely to suffer side effects from radiotherapy prior to starting treatment for a glioblastoma (GBM), a type of brain tumour.GBM is the commonest primary malignant brain tumour. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiotherapy or best supportive care. The focus should be on maintaining a good quality of life for as long as possible.Radiotherapy to the brain is an effective treatment, however it can produce…
