First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a special type of PET scan (parametric imaging) can better predict if non-small cell lung cancer will come back within a year after treatment. Researchers compared this new scan method to the standard PET scan in 40 patients who had chemotherapy and radiation. The goal was to see if the new method could help doctors detect a local relapse earlier and possibly adjust treatment in the future.
