NCT ID NCT02022800
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special PET scan called 18F-FDOPA can help doctors make better treatment decisions for people with brain tumors (gliomas or metastases) when standard MRI results are unclear. 85 patients whose MRI scans left doctors unsure about the next step received this additional scan. The goal was to see if the PET scan increased doctors' confidence in choosing the right therapy, potentially avoiding months of waiting and uncertainty.
