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 patients took part, and the goal was to see if early scan results could predict later treatment success and survival.
