Study Summary

This pilot research trial studies blood brain barrier differences in patients with brain tumors undergoing surgery. Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with brain tumors in the laboratory may help doctors to understand how well drugs get into different parts of a brain tumor. This may help them to determine which types of drugs may be best for treating brain tumors.

Primary Outcome

The ratio of cefazolin and levetiracetam (or lorazepam) and gadolinium in blood taken every 20-30 minutes during surgery will be correlated with the tissue samples. Inter- and intra-subject variability over all patients will be estimated, within specific imaging features between patients, and within open biopsy specimens.
