Summary

The goal of this observational study is to characterize the circulating leukocyte profile and the immune T cells distribution within the tumor in patients with malignant brain tumors and to correlate these findings with the oncological outcome. Participants will be subjected to blood sampling before surgery and for 12 months of follow-up. Additional sampling and analysis will be performed on tumor samples.
