Summary
This study tests a special dye that makes brain tumor cells glow under a camera during surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see and remove more of the tumor while sparing healthy brain tissue. About 46 adults with malignant glioma or vestibular schwannoma will receive the dye before their planned surgery. The study checks for side effects and how well the dye highlights tumor tissue.
