Testing tissue monitoring during brain tumor surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to remove a suspected high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can provide written consent to join the study.
- You are not pregnant, a prisoner, or someone with an intellectual disability.

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.
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 tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
This study looks at how your immune system reacts to brain tumor surgery and standard treatment, using a special dye to help the surgeon see the tumor better. It aims to find out if this approach can improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma.
This trial studies whether a blood test can track the progress of a type of brain tumor called a grade 4 diffuse glioma. It may offer a less invasive way to monitor these tumors after surgery.
