Glowing tumor technique tested against standard brain surgery
NCT ID NCT01811121
Summary
This study compared two different surgical techniques for removing glioblastoma, a serious type of brain tumor. Researchers tested whether using a fluorescent dye that makes tumor cells glow under special light (fluorescence-guided surgery) was better than the standard computer navigation method at removing all visible tumor tissue. The goal was to see if the newer technique led to more complete tumor removal and potentially better patient survival.
