First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether a radioactive tracer called [Cu64]DOTATATE can help surgeons find meningioma tumors during surgery using a special probe. About 20 adults with suspected or confirmed meningioma will receive the tracer before surgery. The goal is to see if this method improves tumor removal and helps detect any leftover cancer cells.
