Listen folks, we’ve got something incredible here, it’s called microdialysis, and it’s a game-changer for tackling brain tumors, the big ones, the gliomas. We’re talking about a technique that’s so smart, it samples the brain’s fluid right there in the operating room. And let me tell you, it’s been rarely used before, but we’ve got the best, the top-of-the-line catheters and pumps to do the job.

We’ve done something very special – we’ve run a trial with this high-tech stuff during real surgeries, 15 of them, on 14 patients. And not just anywhere, but in three different parts of each patient’s brain. We’re looking at everything, with the most advanced analysis, the kind that tells you exactly what’s going on in there.

And guess what? The fluids we use, they make a difference. Some of them can even change the local brain chemistry – think about the possibilities for treatment! We’ve even seen the drugs that patients take during surgery show up in our samples. It’s incredible, all from just 10 minutes of sampling.

But it’s not just about the fancy tools and the data. It’s about doing it right. We’ve learned a lot about how to make this work in the real world of surgery. And we’re sharing it all – because that’s how we make things better, by being open and honest about what we learn.

So, let me tell you, intra-operative microdialysis, it’s not just possible, it’s phenomenal. It’s going to help us understand and treat these tough brain tumors like never before. And we’re just getting started. Remember this number, NCT04047264 – that’s where you’ll find all the details of our groundbreaking work.
