Can a PET scan predict lung cancer treatment success?
NCT ID NCT04151940
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how PET/CT scans change during chemoimmunotherapy and radiation for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers want to see if these scans can help predict how well the cancer responds to treatment. About 80 participants will undergo standard treatment along with regular PET/CT imaging.
