Summary

This program offers a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer called methionine to help doctors better see and manage central nervous system (brain, spine) and head/neck tumors in children and young adults. The scan provides extra information that can guide treatment decisions. Anyone under care at St. Jude with known or suspected tumors in these areas can participate, with no age limit.
