New scan could help doctors see hidden tumor oxygen levels
NCT ID NCT00906893
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special PET scan to measure oxygen levels inside glioblastoma brain tumors. Low oxygen (hypoxia) can make tumors harder to treat. The goal was to find the best way to use this scan to guide treatment. 14 adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma took part.
