Brain Tumor Tissue Bank Research Study

This research study, called the Florida Center for Brain Tumor Research, is collecting and storing brain tumor tissue samples and medical information. The goal is to create a central resource for researchers to study brain tumors, which could lead to better treatments and cures. You can join if you are a child or adult scheduled to have brain surgery to remove tumor tissue. The study is observational, meaning researchers will collect information without giving any specific treatments. The main goal is to collect and maintain this tissue and data for 10 years to support future research. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 4000 participants. It involves collecting tissue and clinical data.
What's involved
You would allow researchers to collect and store leftover tumor tissue from your brain surgery, along with medical information, and potentially cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and answers to Quality of Life questionnaires.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary goal is to collect and maintain clinical data and tumor tissue for 10 years.
