Reducing the Incidence of Symptomatic Brain Metastases With MRI Surveillance
Reducing the Incidence of Symptomatic Brain Metastases With MRI Surveillance in Non-Squamous Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
About This Trial
The purpose of this research is to see if monitoring the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy will allow investigators to find cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases) before it causes symptoms.

Treatments Being Tested
MRI of the Brain
An MRI brain scan with and without gadolinium contrast. Three scans are planned for each participant.
Blood draws
Before each MRI, participants will give about a teaspoon of blood to test for clinical purposes.
Quality of Life Questionnaires
Participants will fill out two questionnaires about their health. These questionnaires will tell investigators about any symptoms participants may be having that might be related to cancer spreading to their brain. This will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Gadolinium
Given intravenously
