NCT ID NCT07111182

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether analyzing waste from surgical suction devices can help detect brain tumor cells during surgery. Currently, surgeons use a special dye and a fluorescent light to see tumors, but some cells can be missed. The study will include 8 adults having brain tumor surgery to see if this new method improves detection and is safe compared to standard visual guidance.
