Read our Glioblastoma research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are studying how blood flow in the brain changes when tumor cells grow. This trial asks patients with glioblastoma, glioma, or astrocytoma to complete some extra imaging scans (like PET and MRI scans) before their scheduled surgery. The goal is to understand the relationship between brain activity, blood flow, and tumors — knowledge that could eventually help doctors diagnose and treat these conditions better.
Brain tumors can disrupt the normal connection between brain activity and blood flow. By studying this disruption in patients, researchers hope to learn more about how tumors develop and potentially find new ways to detect and treat them.

As a participant, you would undergo additional brain imaging scans beyond your routine pre-surgery evaluation — specifically PET and advanced MRI scans that measure blood flow and brain activity around your tumor. These scans would take place before your scheduled surgery and should take a few hours in total. You would need to be able to lie still inside imaging machines and follow standard safety guidelines for MRI scans.
