First seen Jun 16, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 16, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new surgical technique in 12 people with a fast-growing brain cancer called glioblastoma. Doctors placed a piece of the patient's own tissue into the area where the tumor was removed to bypass the brain's protective barrier. The goal was to see if the procedure was safe and if it could help people live longer without the cancer growing back.
