Effect of Radiotherapy Concurrent of TTFields in Patients With Glioblastoma
TTFields has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma multiforme. However, the clinical effect and safety of radiotherapy concurrent of TTFields is not definite. In this study, the investigators conduct a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this strategy.

Efficacy of Two Temozolomide Regimens in Adjuvant Treatment of Patients With Brain High Grade Glioma
This is a phase III, non-blinded, blocked randomized clinical trial. The study is conducted on 62 newly diagnosed patients with brain glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma referring to the oncology clinics during March 2018 and March 2019. The patients will be randomized to 6-cycle and 12-cycle adjuvant Temozolomide groups using block randomization method (1:1).

Enzastaurin and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Primary Gliomas
RATIONALE: Enzastaurin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving enzastaurin together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of enzastaurin when given together with temozolomide in treating patients with primary gliomas.

Erlotinib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of erlotinib in treating patients who have recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme.

Evaluation of Resection Quality of Cerebral Metastases Using Fluorescence Guided Surgery: a Prospective Randomised Study
Few studies have evaluated the use of fluorescein sodium for the resection of brain tumours (especially glioblastomas) but also cerebral metastases. We therefore propose to evaluate the technique of fluorescence guided microsurgery (fluorescein sodium) compared to the conventional microsurgical technique in the resection of cerebral metastases in adults in order to specify, by a prospective and randomised study, the assistance provided by this technique in the quality of resection and the gain in terms of overall survival and local control of brain disease.

Evaluation of the Predictive Value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography and Brain Perfusion Computed Tomography for the Efficacy of Anti-angiogenic Therapy (Bevacizumab) in Recurrent Glioblastoma
In this pilot study, the study evaluators will evaluate the ability of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG PET) and the computed tomography (CT) perfusion scanner, individually and combined, to predict the effectiveness of anti-angiogenic treatment.

Evaluation Of The Treatment Effectiveness Of Glioblastoma / Gliosarcoma Through The Suppression Of The PI3K/Akt Pathway In Compared With MK-3475
It is known that after application of MK-3475 activated PD -1 negatively regulates the activation of T cells through suppression of the path of PI3K / Akt. This study will identify the effectiveness of oral inhibitors of PI3K / Akt pathway in comparison with MK-3475 (pembrolizumab).

FDG and FDOPA PET Demonstration of Functional Brain Abnormalities
The purpose of this pilot study will be to conduct a clinical trial using a time-of-flight PET scanner and MRI scanner to test an improved method for differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis in glioblastoma patients. We will attempt to do so by performing a static and dynamic FDG-PET scan, a static and dynamic FDOPA-PET scan, and a multiparametric MRI scan - then comparing the results with surgical pathology and static FDG-PET scans. We hypothesize that the new quantitative kinetic analytical methods using FDOPA in combination with FDG will provide crucial functional information to distinguish recurrent tumors from treatment-induced radiation changes in patients...

Feasibility of Quality of Life Assessment in Routine Clinical Oncology Practice at the University Hospital of Besancon
Symptoms related to the disease and/or treatment are common in cancer patients and can affect patient health-related quality of life (HRQol). Unfortunately these symptoms can be underestimated and underreported by the physician. Measure of the HRQoL has been significantly developed in clinical trials and has become a key endpoint to assess clinical benefit of new therapeutic strategies and as prognostic factor of overall survival for several cancer as in women breast cancer, glioblastomas, metastatic colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Moreover, a recent study conducted in patients receiving routine outpatient chemotherapy for advanced solid tumors...
