Brain mapping guided tumor surgery trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your brain tumor is located in an area that affects language, movement, or key brain networks.
- You are well enough to have a daily activity score of 70 or higher on the Karnofsky scale.
- You have not had prior treatment like radiation for a tumor in the same brain region.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor and you agree to the study.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring during surgery can help protect memory, attention, and other thinking skills for people with brain tumors (gliomas). If you are scheduled for brain tumor surgery and can complete simple thinking tests, this study may be an option for you.
This trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
This study uses brain “mapping” tests (with MRI and possibly other methods) to identify important brain functions near a tumor. It may help your care team plan a safer surgery by understanding which brain areas do critical tasks.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
