View clinical trials related to Low Grade Glioma of Brain.
Filter by:Low grade glioma (LGG) is a slowly evolving, highly invasive intrinsic brain tumor displaying only subtle tissue differences with the normal surrounding brain, hampering the attempts to visually discriminate tumor from normal brain, especially at the border interface. This makes anatomical borders hard to define during early maximal resection, which is the initial treatment strategy. Therefore, innovative, robust and easy-to-use real-time strategies for intra-operative detection and discrimination of (residual) LGG tumor tissue would strongly influence on-site, surgical decision making, enabling a maximal extent of resection. To validate this approach hyperspectral imaging (HSI) - using a SnapScan HSI-Camera (IMEC), stably mounted on an OPMI Pentero 900 microscope (Zeiss) - will be used to generate spectral imaging data patterns that discriminate in vivo low grade glioma tissue from normal brain both on the cortical and subcortical level.
This study is about an experimental biomedical monocentric search concerning twelves patients presenting a infiltrative glioma of low rank OMS type II and realizing a surgery awakened on the site of the CHU of Montpellier. The objective of this search is to understand exactly how the electric impulses, delivered by the neurosurgeon to make a functional mapping of the brain during the surgery awakened by tumors infiltrates of low rank, propagate in this one and to identify the nervous networks inhibited by these electric impulses. Having verified the eligibility of the patients and having obtained their consent, they will be included in the study. Before the beginning of the surgery, the electroencephalography activity of the brain of every patient will be recorded. Before and after the surgical resection, the electrocorticography activity will be recorded. The collected data will then be analyzed, after the operation. Analyses will try to identify what we call potential evoked by the stimulation and which are small electric waves which appear after the electric stimulation was delivered.
