Fluorescence measurement of brain tumor suction samples
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to measure fluorescence in fluid suctioned from the brain during glioma surgery. It may help surgeons better identify tumor tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for brain surgery to remove a suspected glioma
- You are 18 years old or older
- You can give your consent to take part
- You are not pregnant, a prisoner, or intellectually disabled

This trial tests a technique called fluorescence-enhanced surgery to help surgeons see and remove high-grade gliomas more clearly. It uses a special dye (5-ALA) that makes tumor cells glow during surgery.
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 looks at a new way to check brain tumor tissue during surgery. If you are having surgery for an aggressive brain tumor, the doctors want to see if this monitoring technique is practical and helpful.
This trial tests a special fluorescent dye (FG001) that helps surgeons see and remove high-grade brain tumors more completely during surgery. The dye is injected before surgery and glows under special light, potentially helping surgeons remove more tumor tissue safely.
This study tests whether using special fluorescent dye during brain tumor surgery, combined with chemotherapy and radiation, helps the body's immune system fight glioblastoma (an aggressive brain cancer). Researchers will track immune markers in your blood over time to understand how these treatments work together.
This trial tests a special camera system used during surgery to help doctors see brain tumor tissue using fluorescent light. It may help the surgeon remove more tumor while protecting healthy brain areas.
