Summary
This study tested a special PET scan using a tracer called F-18 fluciclovine to see if it could tell the difference between a brain tumor that has come back and brain injury caused by radiation therapy. The study included 19 people with cancer that had spread to the brain and who had suspicious MRI findings after radiation. The goal was to find the best way to use this scan to guide future treatment decisions.
