Brain Imaging and Thinking Patterns in Glioblastoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses advanced brain scans (PET and MRI) before surgery to understand how glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor) affects your brain's connections and thinking abilities. The goal is to help doctors better predict treatment outcomes and plan surgery more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor)
- You are scheduled for preoperative brain imaging at the Strauss Institute
- You can undergo MRI scans safely (no metal implants or pacemakers that contraindicate MRI)
- You are able to give informed consent and understand the study
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 for connections between detailed brain scans and tumor genetic features in people with glioblastoma. It may help researchers find better ways to understand your tumor and tailor future care.
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 uses two special types of MRI scans to better understand how far a high-grade brain tumor (aggressive brain cancer) has spread into surrounding brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors plan surgery or biopsy more precisely.
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 uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
