New MRI technique could help surgeons see and remove hidden brain tumor cells

NCT ID NCT06176066

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a special MRI scan (CEST-EPI) can help surgeons see and remove more aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma) cells that standard scans miss. About 18 adults with newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma will have surgery guided by this pH-sensitive imaging. The main goal is to check safety, with a secondary look at whether this approach might extend how long people live without the cancer growing.
