NCT ID NCT00904410

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a special PET scan (FDG-PET) can detect early whether breast cancer is responding to chemotherapy. 63 women with breast cancer had a PET scan before and after their first chemo cycle. The goal was to see if the scan could tell responders from non-responders earlier than standard methods like ultrasound. The results could help doctors adjust treatment sooner for better outcomes.
