Brain scan study for people with glioblastoma before surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have been diagnosed with glioblastoma (a type of malignant brain tumor)
- Be scheduled for surgery to remove the brain tumor
- Be able to undergo MRI (no pacemaker, metal implants, or other MRI contraindications)
- Be able to give consent and not be under legal guardianship or deprived of liberty

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when there is a mass that can be removed with surgery. You would join before any treatment, which helps doctors understand the link between the brain lesion and blood vessel function.
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 study looks at whether brain scans (MRI, PET/CT) can help predict the genetic makeup of glioblastoma, without needing more tissue samples. If you join, you'll get advanced imaging to better understand your tumor and guide future treatment decisions.
This study uses MRI scans to learn more about the biology of glioblastoma before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the tumor behaves and improve future treatments.
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.
