Surgery with or without brain mapping for recurrent glioblastoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- Your glioblastoma has come back after initial treatment.
- Your tumor is near important brain areas like those that control movement, speech, or vision.
- A neurosurgeon believes the tumor can be safely removed with surgery.
- You are willing and able to give written permission (informed consent) to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether surgeons get better safety and control during glioblastoma removal by using awake testing, asleep testing, or no mapping. Mapping helps identify brain areas involved in movement, speech, or vision to lower the risk of serious side effects.
This trial compares surgery to the best non-surgical treatment for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see which approach helps people live longer with a better quality of life.
This study compares whether having surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (resection) or just taking a small sample (biopsy) leads to better outcomes for people with a fast-growing brain tumor (high-grade glioma). The goal is to help guide treatment decisions.
This study compares two ways of doing brain surgery for glioblastoma: doing parts of the operation while you are awake, versus doing it fully under general anesthesia (sleep). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for protecting brain functions like speech and movement while removing the tumor.
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 uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
