Summary
This study looks at whether a special PET scan can help doctors see how well hormone therapy is working in breast cancer that has spread to the bones. About 75 adults with ER+ breast cancer and bone metastases will get a PET scan before starting new hormone treatment, then again at 4 and 12 weeks. The goal is to see if changes in the scan can predict how long the cancer stays under control and overall survival.
