New imaging technique could reveal how brain tumors hide from the immune system
NCT ID NCT05267509
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how aggressive brain tumors (gliomas) suppress the immune system. Researchers will use special MRI and PET scans to track immune cells and iron levels in the tumor. The goal is to find better ways to measure immune suppression, which could help develop new treatments. The study involves 31 adults with malignant glioma.
