The CORTEX study is testing a new surgical approach for people with brain tumors located near or within critical brain areas. Surgeons use advanced MRI imaging and specialized computer maps to plan and guide tumor removal surgery, aiming to remove as much tumor as safely possible while protecting your brain's important functions.
Brain tumors near vital areas create a difficult balance: surgeons want to remove all the cancer, but traditional surgical planning can miss important brain networks that control movement, speech, and thinking. This trial uses advanced imaging to map these hidden networks so surgeons can avoid damaging them during surgery.

You will undergo surgery to remove your brain tumor, with the surgeon using advanced MRI maps and computer navigation to guide the procedure. Before and within a few weeks after surgery, you will have brain MRI scans with specialized imaging. You will then return for regular clinical follow-up visits at the hospital where your surgery was performed so the research team can track your recovery and any changes in your brain function.
