Tested anesthesia approach for survival in high-grade brain tumors
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study checks whether a specific anesthesia plan used during surgery is practical and safe for people having their first operation for a high-grade brain tumor. If it works well, it may help support better outcomes after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for an elective (planned) brain surgery called a craniotomy between Jul 1, 2022 and Dec 28, 2023
- Your surgery is for a suspected high-grade brain tumor (WHO grade III or IV) that starts in the brain’s supportive cells
- You are not having the surgery while you are awake
- You can have a postoperative MRI (a scan after surgery), and nothing prevents it

This study looks at whether using different anesthesia drugs during planned lung tumor surgery affects recovery and longer-term outcomes. It also aims to understand why the anesthesia choice might make a difference.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during breast cancer surgery to see how they affect the immune system and outcomes after surgery. It may help identify which anesthesia approach is better for people like you having early-stage, operable breast cancer surgery.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines to see how they may affect outcomes after surgery for certain primary cancers. You may be considered if you’re having planned (elective) surgery under general anesthesia and meet the safety and health criteria.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines—propofol and sevoflurane—during planned surgery for primary ovarian tumors. It looks at how these anesthetics may affect outcomes in people having elective brain surgery related to ovarian cancer treatment planning.
