Partial lobe removal for a certain type of brain tumor
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether removing only part of the brain lobe (sub-lobectomy) is effective for a certain type of aggressive brain tumor. It aims to see if this less extensive surgery can help patients with a specific genetic profile.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma (brain tumor) that has not been treated except with a biopsy.
- You must be able to have an MRI with contrast.
- You must be in good physical condition (KPS score of 70 or higher, meaning you can care for yourself).
- The tumor must be in a single lobe of the brain (front, side, or back) and can be completely removed by surgery.
- Your tumor must have specific genetic changes (IDH wild-type and TERT promoter mutation) that must be confirmed 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.
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 looks at a new imaging method to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. It may help remove the tumor more safely and completely.
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and 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 looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
