Brain tumor tissue bank aims to unlock future cures
NCT ID NCT00811148
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study collects brain tumor tissue samples from 4,000 children and adults undergoing brain surgery. The samples are stored in a tissue bank at the University of Florida for future research. The goal is to help scientists find better treatments and cures for brain tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If this tissue bank helps researchers understand brain tumors better, it could point toward new treatments or even cures in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is a tissue collection study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any therapy directly, so benefits for participants are indirect and may take many years to realize.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
