Summary

This study is testing whether a dye called panitumumab-IRDye800 can safely help surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery in children and young adults aged 6 months to 25 years. The dye is given before surgery and makes tumor tissue glow under a special camera, helping surgeons remove more of the tumor while protecting healthy brain. The main goal is to check for side effects and find the best dose.
