First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a special type of PET/CT scan (FDG PET/CT) can detect very early changes in brain tumors (glioblastoma) after starting chemotherapy. The idea is that tumors use sugar differently when they respond to treatment, and this scan measures sugar uptake. Only 7 people took part, and the goal was to see if the scan could predict later treatment success or survival. This was an observational study, not a treatment trial.
