First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests a new radioactive drug called F-Glutamine, which is used with PET scanners to see if it can find tumors in people with solid cancers or lymphoma. Researchers want to learn how long the drug stays in the blood and where it goes in the body. If successful, this imaging method may help detect tumors better than current scans.
