Brain cancer breakthrough? new flap surgery aims to starve tumors
NCT ID NCT05954858
First seen Jun 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new surgical technique for people with a fast-growing brain cancer called glioblastoma. During surgery to remove the tumor, doctors place a piece of the patient's own tissue (from the scalp or skull lining) into the empty space. This flap may help bypass the blood-brain barrier, potentially allowing the body's immune system and treatments to reach the cancer more effectively. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help patients live longer without the cancer growing back.
