Analysis of Brain Tumors Using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry

NCT00592709 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 84

Last updated 2021-02-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We are collecting brain tissue specimens and blood samples from patients at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who are undergoing intracranial surgery to remove brain tissue, including brain tumors, tissue from epilepsy surgery and brain tissue removed during surgery for other non-cancerous types of brain tissus. These specimens will then be studied using a novel microscopic laser-directed protein mass spectrometric analysis, looking for unique protein signatures.
