Imaging brain tumors to guide glioblastoma treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with glioblastoma (new or returning)
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor
- You do not have metal implants like pacemakers, aneurysm clips, or infusion pumps
- You are not severely claustrophobic
- Your kidney function is good enough (GFR above 30)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new surgery technique that uses pH levels to remove glioblastoma tumors more precisely. It may help patients with newly diagnosed or returning tumors that haven't spread.
This trial uses special MRI scans and a contrast agent to look at the immune environment of glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about how the tumor responds to treatment.
This trial is testing a new way to find and remove glioblastoma brain tumors using a special MRI scan. It may help doctors remove more of the tumor safely during surgery.
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (a type of imaging that shows tumor activity) during brain tumor surgery helps doctors remove more of the tumor safely. You would have a high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain cancer) and be scheduled for surgery.
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can tell the difference between actual tumor growth and treatment-related changes in people with aggressive brain cancer (high-grade glioma). If you have had radiation and an MRI shows a growing lesion, this study may help clarify the cause.
