Brain tumor surgery guided by brain wiring maps
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor (glioma or cancer that spread to the brain) that needs surgery
- The tumor is in an area of the brain that controls important functions like movement, speech, or vision
- You will have a standard MRI before and shortly after surgery, including a special scan that traces brain connections
- You are able to have follow-up appointments at the hospital where you have surgery
- You agree to let the researchers use your anonymous medical data and images

This study looks at how the brain may shift during surgery for certain brain tumors. The goal is to improve the accuracy of the navigation system so surgeons can remove tumors more precisely.
This study tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
This study uses MRI scans to look for signs of brain tumour activity without needing additional surgery. If you are already having brain surgery, the researchers will compare the MRI images with the tumour tissue to better understand the cancer.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) given before surgery can help the brain adapt and preserve movement function during surgery for a fast-growing brain tumor. It aims to reduce the risk of losing movement after surgery.
This study tests a personalized approach to map and protect the brain's movement pathways during surgery for slow-growing brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible while keeping your quality of life and movement abilities intact.
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.
