Ultrasound-guided surgery for brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors remove brain tumors more precisely. It may be an option for people aged 18 to 80 with certain types of brain tumors that can be reached with ultrasound.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have one of these tumor types: meningioma, glioma, or a brain metastasis from a solid tumor anywhere in the body.
- Your tumor is located in the upper part of the brain (supratentorial region).
- You are scheduled for surgery where ultrasound can be used inside the wound.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the brain before (except for a single stereotactic radiosurgery session at least 7 days before surgery).

This study looks at how the brain may shift during surgery for certain brain tumors. The goal is to improve the accuracy of the navigation system so surgeons can remove tumors more precisely.
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can safely open the blood-brain barrier to help your chemotherapy work better. It is for people with glioblastoma who have already completed standard surgery and chemo-radiation and are now on maintenance chemo.
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 study tests a method to help surgeons find and remove brain tumors that show up on MRI with contrast dye (often high-grade gliomas and brain metastases). If you newly have one of these tumors, the trial may help improve how completely tumors can be removed while protecting important brain areas.
This study checks whether a special, painless ultrasound technique can help measure a brain tumor during planned brain surgery. It may help doctors understand tumor location and behavior more accurately while you’re already in the operating room.
This trial uses a targeted ultrasound technique to deliver treatment directly to the brain tumor during surgery. It may help improve how well the treatment works for people with glioma, a type of brain tumor.
