PET-Guided surgery could extend life for aggressive brain cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07567196
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a special PET scan before surgery helps surgeons remove more of a high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) safely. About 100 adults with newly diagnosed tumors will get both a PET and MRI scan before surgery. After surgery, doctors will check if removing extra tissue seen on PET improves how long patients live without the cancer growing. The goal is to find a better way to treat these aggressive tumors.
