The Risk of Growth in Patients With Non-malignant Brain Tumor: SeOuL cOhort of Brain Tumor MONitoring (SOLOMON) Study
The registry of this study was subjected to patients who were radiologically diagnosed with a non-malignant brain tumor at Seoul National University Hospital since 2001, and who have had magnetic resonance (MR) re-examination after first MR exam or will be re-examined because it was determined that immediate treatment would not be needed at the first visit to the hospital. In all MRs taken by patients, the date of imaging and the volume of the tumor are measured, and we aim to establish a natural growth history for non-malignant brain tumors.
• Patients with radiologically diagnosed brain neoplasm of CNS WHO grade 2 or less since 1998
• Asymptomatic at first visit to the hospital
• Patients who, based on the up-to-date knowledge, did not necessarily require immediate treatment at the first hospital visit
• Patients who have had two or more MRs at least 3 months apart
• No previous radiotherapy or radiosurgery for the brain lesion
• 18 years old or more
• Patients with newly diagnosed brain neoplasm of CNS WHO grade 2 or less
• Asymptomatic at first visit to the hospital
• Patients who, based on the up-to-date knowledge, did not necessarily require immediate treatment at the first hospital visit and who are going to take follow-up MR exams
• No previous radiotherapy or radiosurgery for the brain lesion
• 18 years old or more
• Patients who agree to participate by written consent
