Pilot Study of 18F-FLT PET

February 22, 2012 updated by: University of Wisconsin, Madison

Pilot Study of 18F-FLT Pet Imaging in Cancer Patients

Fractionated radiotherapy induces an observable change in the proliferative activity as assessed by pre-treatment and early-treatment 18F-FLT PET imaging. This study is designed to investigate 18F-FLT as a PET imaging agent for predicting treatment effectiveness in several tumors and will serve as a pilot study to a planned PO1 submission
