Early brain scan study after glioblastoma surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether it is safe and possible to do a special brain scan (nuclear imaging) within the first 3 days after surgery for glioblastoma. It may help doctors understand how well the tumor was removed and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to remove a suspected glioblastoma within the past 72 hours.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any medical device or condition that prevents you from having an MRI scan (like severe claustrophobia).
- You are not allergic to the dyes used in the scans.
- You are able to give informed consent yourself.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether combining different brain scans (PET, MRI, and special MRI techniques) before surgery can help doctors better understand your brain tumor and plan treatment. The scans also track how the tumor affects your thinking and memory over time.
This study uses special PET scans (fluciclovine and FDG) and advanced MRI to create a detailed metabolic profile of glioblastoma. It may help doctors better understand your tumor before surgery.
This trial looks at a new imaging method to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. It may help remove the tumor more safely and completely.
This study uses a special PET scan to help doctors tell the difference between side effects of radiation (pseudoprogression) and actual tumor growth in people with glioblastoma. It aims to avoid unnecessary treatments and guide the next steps in your care.
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (a type of imaging that shows tumor activity) during brain tumor surgery helps doctors remove more of the tumor safely. You would have a high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain cancer) and be scheduled for surgery.
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
