New scan may predict hormone therapy response in advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT02398773
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET scan called FES can predict how well hormone therapy will work in people with newly diagnosed breast cancer that has spread. About 99 participants will get the scan, which uses a radioactive form of estrogen to "light up" cancer cells. The goal is to see if a negative scan means the cancer won't respond to treatment, helping doctors choose better therapies sooner.
