Study of tumor markers during brain surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is for people with a brain tumor called glioblastoma who are about to have surgery. Researchers want to find markers in your body that may help predict how the tumor behaves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 90 years old.
- You need a brain tumor diagnosis called glioblastoma (GBM).
- You must be a candidate for surgery to remove the tumor.
- You must not have had brain tumor surgery or radiation in the past.
- You must not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.
- You must not have severe speech or language problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at MRI scans to find “molecular markers” that may reflect how active a brain tumor is. If you’re having surgery for a primary brain tumor, these scan results may help researchers better understand tumor behavior.
This study tests whether a tiny probe can safely measure brain chemistry during and after brain surgery. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain conditions like tumors or epilepsy.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring during surgery can help protect memory, attention, and other thinking skills for people with brain tumors (gliomas). If you are scheduled for brain tumor surgery and can complete simple thinking tests, this study may be an option for you.
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.
This trial tests whether a special brain stimulation technique (nTMS) before surgery can help the brain reorganize around a tumor. It's for people with aggressive brain tumors near movement areas, who still have good strength.
This study records brain activity during awake surgery for people with glioma. It aims to better understand how the brain works around the tumor, which may help improve surgical safety.
