Study of gut bacteria in children with brain tumors
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria (the microbiome) may differ in children with brain tumors. Researchers will collect samples before and after surgery to understand the connection between gut health and brain tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Suspected brain or spinal cord tumor that needs surgery
- No long-term antibiotic or probiotic use in the past 3 months
