New brain scan agent helps tell tumor from treatment side effects
NCT ID NCT06743100
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This program gave patients with glioma (a type of brain tumor) access to a special imaging agent called 18F-FET. It was used with PET scans to help doctors tell the difference between actual tumor growth and changes caused by previous treatments. The goal was to improve treatment decisions for patients aged 3 and older with unclear MRI results.
