Surgery for low-grade glioma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial looks at how surgery can help people with low-grade glioma, a slow-growing brain tumor. It aims to understand how best to manage the tumor through surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a low-grade glioma (a slow-growing brain tumor) based on imaging scans.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery.

This trial tests a laser treatment called LITT for low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) that has come back or is growing despite prior treatment. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective in young people aged 2 to 25.
This trial measures how the brain reacts to small electrical stimulation during an awake surgery for a specific type of brain tumor. It may help surgeons better plan and improve care for people having their first surgery for this tumor type.
This trial studies how patients with grade 2 or 3 low-grade brain gliomas do after modern radiotherapy following surgery (or biopsy). It looks at both brain/memory functioning and cancer outcomes, especially for people at higher risk from their surgery or age.
This study compares receiving palliative care (supportive treatments) versus surgery (removing the tumor) for people with a high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The goal is to find out which approach improves quality of life and survival.
This early-stage study measures electrical brain activity during brain tumor surgery to see if it can predict tumor return or progression. You may be offered the additional measurements while your surgeon removes a suspected or known high-grade glioma.
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.
