Summary

This study is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a special sugar tracer (Me-4FDG) to find lung cancer earlier. The tracer is designed to highlight cancer cells that take up a lot of sugar. Researchers will check how safe and accurate this scan is in 60 adults who have a lung nodule seen on a CT scan. The goal is to improve early diagnosis of lung cancer.
