Summary

This early-phase study is testing whether a special PET scan (68Ga-PSMA-11) can effectively show tumor activity in people with high-grade gliomas or brain metastases. About 11 adults whose tumors are at least 1 cm and who are already scheduled for a biopsy or surgery will receive the scan beforehand. The goal is to see how well the tracer highlights cancerous tissue, which could improve future diagnosis and treatment planning.
