New scan within 48 hours of brain tumor surgery could spot leftover cancer

NCT ID NCT07274397

Summary

This study tests whether a special brain scan (PET-MRI) done within 48 hours after glioblastoma surgery is safe and practical. Fifteen adults who just had their first surgery for a suspected glioblastoma will get this scan, which uses a radioactive tracer and contrast dye. The goal is to see if this early scan can find leftover tumor better than standard MRI, without causing harm.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

18F-DOPA radiotracer and gadolinium contrast

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help surgeons see remaining tumor more clearly right after surgery, guiding further treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 15 patients, so results may not apply broadly. The imaging itself carries minor radiation exposure and contrast risks.
