Brain tumour research

This study will investigate how brain and skull-based tumours develop and progress.  It is looking for people who have not had a brain tumour or neurological condition to act as ‘control participants’.

Results of this study will be used to inform the development of new tests to help diagnose brain and skull-based tumours, as well as new treatments and care for the future.

It is being carried out by a team of researchers from The University of Manchester, the Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre, and Salford Royal Hospital (part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust).

• Healthy volunteers
• Aged 18+
• No previous diagnosis of cancer, neurological disease or any condition that requires steroid or antibiotic medication
• No previous eye surgery

• Salford Royal Hospital (part of the Northern Care Alliance)

Taking part involves attending one clinic appointment (approx. 45 minutes), which will include:

• blood sample
• tear fluid samples from both eyes
• completing a short health questionnaire
