Official title
Prospective Surgical Study on the Feasibility of Semi-Automated Tissue Collection, Stabilization, Preservation, and Site Transfer - Improving Understanding of Brain Tumors Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Recent experiments are giving researchers insight into the changes (mutations) that occur in an individual brain tumor cell compared to a normal cell. Currently, we do not have enough knowledge about how uniform these changes are throughout a single brain tumor and if different regions of a brain tumor have different groupings of changes. By obtaining multiple samples of the tumor from various regions during surgery, it will allow researchers to better understand these changes, with the hope that they will lead to new discoveries in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors.
