Summary
This study looks at whether a special PET scan using a natural amino acid called methionine can help doctors see tumors in children and young adults with cancer. About 500 participants will get the scan to check if it can find tumors at diagnosis and tell the difference between active cancer and scar tissue after treatment. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor and manage these cancers.
