Brain surgery breakthrough: skipping steroids to boost cancer immunity

NCT ID NCT07044557

Summary

This study is testing whether patients with brain tumors that have spread from other cancers can safely have surgery without receiving the steroid medication dexamethasone. Researchers want to see if avoiding steroids helps preserve the immune system's ability to fight cancer. The trial will follow 35 patients from surgery through the start of their follow-up cancer treatments.
