Summary

This study looks at whether using a special PET scan before brain surgery helps surgeons remove more of an aggressive brain tumor (high-grade glioma) safely. About 100 adults with newly diagnosed tumors will get either standard MRI-guided surgery or surgery guided by both MRI and PET. The goal is to see if PET-guided removal leads to longer survival without the tumor coming back.
