New scan aims to spot hidden brain cancer after surgery

NCT ID NCT05554302

Summary

This study is testing whether a new type of PET scan, using a tracer called 18F-Fluciclovine, can help doctors see leftover or returning brain cancer cells more clearly after surgery. It aims to improve how doctors plan follow-up radiation treatment by finding tumor areas that a standard MRI might miss. The study is for adults who have had surgery to remove a brain tumor that spread from elsewhere in the body and are scheduled for follow-up radiation.
