Mapping brain function in people with certain brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses brain “mapping” tests (with MRI and possibly other methods) to identify important brain functions near a tumor. It may help your care team plan a safer surgery by understanding which brain areas do critical tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older
- You have a brain tumor inside the brain (not on the surface) in or near important brain areas that might be removed
- You can participate and make decisions for yourself (or have the ability to consent) for the mapping tests
- You can have MRI safely (no MRI-incompatible implanted devices)
- You are not pregnant (or can pass pregnancy screening)

This trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
This study uses MRI scans to map the brain's electrical properties in healthy volunteers and in people who have had surgery for a brain tumor (glioma). It aims to better understand brain function and tumor effects.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help doctors understand and predict these changes, which could improve care.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
This study looks at how the brain works during awake surgery for brain tumors. By asking you simple tasks while you are awake, doctors can map important brain areas to avoid damage and improve your recovery.
