New scan aims to clear up brain cancer confusion

NCT ID NCT06055790

Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of PET/CT scan using a tracer called 18F-fluciclovine can better identify and monitor brain metastases (cancer that has spread to the brain). Researchers want to see if this scan can more clearly show active cancer versus treatment side effects like scarring, which can be hard to tell apart on standard MRI scans. Up to 20 adults with known brain metastases will get the new scan before and after their standard treatment to see how it compares.
