Glowing tracer lights up brain tumors for surgeons

NCT ID NCT06377371

Summary

This study is testing whether a special radioactive tracer can help surgeons better see and remove a type of brain tumor called a meningioma during surgery. The tracer is injected before surgery and a handheld probe is used to detect it, potentially helping the surgeon find all the tumor tissue. The study will enroll 20 patients to see if this approach is practical and useful.
