Shining a light on brain cancer: new therapy aims to target tumors during surgery

NCT ID NCT05736406

Summary

This study is testing the safety of a new light-based treatment for an aggressive type of brain cancer called glioblastoma. The treatment, called photodynamic therapy (PDT), is given during surgery to remove the tumor and is followed by standard chemotherapy. The main goal is to find the safest and most effective dose of light to use with the special drug that makes cancer cells sensitive to it.
