Brain radiation therapy during surgery for new glioblastoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests giving a precise dose of radiation directly to the tumor area during surgery for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The goal is to destroy remaining tumor cells immediately after removal, which may improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma that has not been treated before.
- The tumor can be safely removed almost completely during surgery.
- You must be in generally good health, with no serious heart, lung, or liver problems.
- You cannot have had radiation to the brain or cancer elsewhere in the body.

This trial tests putting radiation directly into the brain right after surgery for glioblastoma, instead of waiting for standard radiation later. It aims to see if this approach works better and is safe for you.
This trial tests a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who have had surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works well for treating the tumor.
This trial tests giving radiation and chemotherapy before surgery for glioblastoma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and may help improve outcomes for patients whose tumor can be completely removed.
This trial tests whether adding a special type of radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It is for patients who are planning to receive standard treatment and have had surgery to remove the tumor.
This trial is testing an escalated dose of proton beam radiation, along with standard chemotherapy and MRI-guided planning, for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to see whether the higher radiation dose can improve treatment while staying safe for nearby critical brain structures.
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.
