PET/MRI for guiding glioblastoma surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a single glioblastoma tumor seen on MRI (one main spot, not multiple).
- This must be your first glioblastoma diagnosis (not a recurrence).
- You must be between 18 and 69 years old.
- You must be able to do most daily activities (Karnofsky score of 70 or higher).
- You cannot have a history of cancer elsewhere or any condition that makes surgery unsafe.

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.
This trial uses a special MRI approach and computer analysis to help plan neurosurgery for adults with a brain lesion that looks like glioblastoma. It may improve how surgeons find and navigate the target area before an operation.
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 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.
This trial tests a special MRI technique to help surgeons remove more of a glioblastoma brain tumor during surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps people live longer.
