Scientists use super scanners to map deadly brain tumors

NCT ID NCT06613841

Summary

This study aims to learn more about glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, by using two types of specialized PET scans and a powerful MRI machine. Researchers will scan up to 15 adults with new or returning glioblastoma who are already scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see how the tumor uses nutrients like sugar and glutamine, which could help guide future research and treatments.
