Starting radiation during brain cancer surgery vs. standard treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your doctor suspects you have a newly diagnosed glioblastoma from scans.
- You are healthy enough for brain surgery and standard treatment.
- You can perform most daily activities on your own (KPS score of 70 or higher).
- You haven't had a prior biopsy that showed a different type of brain cancer.
- You have no allergies or contraindications to the drugs or scans used in the trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 early-phase study tests whether liposomal curcumin, added to standard radiation plus temozolomide, can improve treatment outcomes in newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. It focuses on safety and how well the treatment can be given with the usual therapy plan.
This trial tests whether using advanced MRI scans before radiation therapy can help doctors target the tumor more precisely and possibly improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma. It aims to make radiation treatment more personalized.
This study tests a targeted radiation treatment given during surgery to remove a malignant brain tumor. It may be an option if you have a high-grade glioma or other serious brain tumor and need radiation right after surgery.
