Discarded tumor tissue yields clues for future brain cancer therapies
NCT ID NCT04822688
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at leftover tumor tissue and blood samples from 141 adults with glioblastoma or other solid tumors who were having surgery. The goal was to measure cell counts and viability to help scientists design better treatments for brain cancer and other solid tumors in the future. No direct benefit to participants was intended.
