Total-body PET/CT Imaging Using the uEXPLORER in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated by Induction Chemotherapy Plus Nivolumab and Definitive Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

January 21, 2024 updated by: Hui Liu, Sun Yat-sen University
The prospective study aims to explore the value of total-body PET/CT dynamic imaging (uExplorer) in assessing tumor metabolic heterogeneity and predicting prognosis for patients with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (stage III) treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus nivolumab and definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Total-body PET/CT (uExplorer)
Patients with locally advanced NSCLC will receive total-body PET/CT (uExplorer) scans before, during and after the treatment
A total-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner (uEXPLORER) with a 192-cm scan range was applied for cancer diagnosis, organ function assessment and treatment outcome prediction. The total-body PET scanner can acquire scans with lower administered activity or short acquisition time, total-body dynamic acquisition at a longer delayed time point, and high detectability of exiguous changes of the whole body, and tumor as well.
