Predicting infection risk after brain or spinal tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Infections clinical trials.
This study is building a tool to predict the risk of surgical site infection after brain or spinal tumor surgery. It may help you understand your personal infection risk before your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain or spinal tumor that has been diagnosed by a biopsy or other test.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor (either through the skull or the spine).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are expected to live more than 3 months and can come for follow-up visits after surgery.

This study tests whether keeping blood sugar tightly controlled after brain surgery can reduce the chance of infection at the surgical site. If you are having planned brain surgery and have no active infections, this trial may help improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether rinsing the surgical area with a special liquid called PREVENTIA® before spinal fusion surgery reduces bacteria and lowers infection risk. It may help people having planned back surgery with screws or implants.
This study looks at bacteria that cause infections after surgery to understand why some are resistant to antibiotics. Your participation could help doctors find better ways to treat these infections.
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to look at your scans and health information to better predict whether lung cancer might spread to the brain and how the disease may progress. It aims to help doctors make more personalized treatment decisions.
This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
This study uses MRI scans taken before back surgery to see if they can help predict the chance of infection after the operation. It focuses on people with a condition called sarcopenia, which is loss of muscle mass and strength.
