Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and performance of an investigational
agent, known as 5-ALA or Gliolan (aminolevulinic acid), that many be useful to a surgeon for
visualizing a tumor during surgery. It is also being studied to determine if there are
differences in what Gliolan shows a surgeon compared to intraoperative magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI)
