Summary
This study is testing a new fiber optic system that fits inside a standard biopsy needle to help doctors see tumor tissue and blood vessels during brain surgery. The goal is to make biopsies for high-grade glioma safer and more accurate. The study involves 20 adults whose surgery already uses a special dye (5-ALA) to highlight tumor cells. The new tool will be tested on removed tumor tissue to see how well it detects cancer and avoids blood vessels.
