Improving Understanding of Brain Tumors Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue
Sponsor: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
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.
