Diffuse gliomas are a type of brain tumor that can be very serious. This study looks at special molecules called microRNAs in the blood. These molecules can help doctors tell if a brain tumor has come back after surgery or if it's just a false alarm on an MRI scan. The study focuses on patients who had surgery for grade 4 glioma, the most severe type. After surgery, these patients usually get more treatment like chemotherapy and radiation, but the tumor often comes back within two years.
Key Points:
- Patients need to have had surgery for grade 4 glioma at Caen University Hospital.
- Regular monitoring with brain MRI scans is part of the study.
- Participants must be adults and agree to be part of the study.
