Scientists use special PET scan to spy on immune cells in brain tumors
NCT ID NCT06650163
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new imaging method that uses a radioactive tracer to find immune cells (CD8+ T-cells) inside brain tumors. The goal is to see if this PET scan can show where immune cells are active without needing a biopsy. About 20 adults with brain tumors scheduled for surgery will receive the tracer before their operation, and researchers will compare the scan results with tissue samples. This study does not offer a treatment, but it may help doctors better understand how the immune system responds to brain tumors.
