Imaging tool during brain tumor surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special camera system used during surgery to help doctors see brain tumor tissue using fluorescent light. It may help the surgeon remove more tumor while protecting healthy brain areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are having planned surgery to remove a malignant glioma (a type of brain tumor).
- You can understand and sign the consent form.
- You are not pregnant.
- This is not an emergency surgery. (It must be a planned operation.)
- You do not have swallowing problems or a language barrier that prevents informed consent.

This trial tests whether a special PET scan combined with MRI can help guide surgery for glioblastoma. It is for people with a newly diagnosed, single tumor who are candidates for surgery.
This trial studies a special imaging scan that combines MRI and PET to find active tumor areas in patients with glioblastoma. It aims to see if the scan can help identify the most aggressive parts of the tumor for surgery.
This study tests a special imaging tool that helps surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. It uses a drug called 5-ALA, which makes tumor cells glow, and a camera that captures detailed images to help remove as much tumor as possible while protecting healthy brain tissue.
This trial tests a technique called fluorescence-enhanced surgery to help surgeons see and remove high-grade gliomas more clearly. It uses a special dye (5-ALA) that makes tumor cells glow during surgery.
This study tests a surgery that uses a special light to make tumor tissue glow, helping doctors remove as much of the tumor as safely possible. It is for people newly diagnosed with certain aggressive brain tumors or tumors that have spread to the brain from elsewhere.
This study tests the CONVIVO system to help surgeons see certain brain tumors during surgery. It may help make operations safer and more effective by improving how tumors are identified.
