Microscope study using tumor samples during brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a special imaging microscope on tumor tissue taken during brain tumor removal surgery. The goal is to better understand brain connections and how tumor cells signal, which may improve future diagnosis or treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 20 and have a brain tumor (new or coming back).
- Your doctors plan for you to have tumor removal surgery (resection), not only a small tissue sample (biopsy).
- You (or your legal representative) can understand the study and agree to participate.
- Your tumor tissue can be diagnosed clearly under the usual pathology testing.
- Your pathology report does not show major treatment after-effects from radiation or radiation necrosis.

This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study tests a special microscope that helps surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. The goal is to see if it can help remove more of the tumor safely.
This study checks a new computer software tool that helps doctors map important brain networks and how blood flow responds during brain scans. It may help improve planning and safety for people having brain tumor surgery.
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 looks at how brain tumors use energy (“metabolism”) during planned surgical removal. It may help researchers learn what makes tumors grow and how to improve future brain tumor treatments.
This study tests a new way to guide brain surgery using a head-mounted mixed reality system, which helps the surgeon see the tumor and surrounding structures. It is for adults with certain brain tumors that have not been treated before.
