Summary

This study tests a new imaging method to help surgeons see tumor cells during brain surgery for glioma. Researchers will use a special camera to detect a natural substance (protoporphyrin) that glows in tumor tissue. The goal is to see if this technique can improve how completely tumors are removed. About 80 adults with suspected high-grade glioma will take part, and the results will be compared with standard lab tests.
