First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at when it's best to operate on brain tumors that remain after chemotherapy or radiation. Researchers want to see if removing these tumors before they come back is safer and more effective than waiting or not having surgery. About 40 adults with brain tumors will take part. The goal is to understand the benefits and risks of early surgery.
