Scan method study for measuring tumor sugar use on PET
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks whether a specific analysis method (called FUR) can better measure how much “sugar” from PET scans is used by tumors. It uses regular PET/CT scans you may already get as part of standard care, and compares how the measurements work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You get an 18F FDG PET/CT scan as part of your usual care
- You are 18 years or older and able to understand and follow instructions
- You must fast for more than 4 hours before the scan
- You should not have diabetes with high blood sugar before the scan
- You must be able to lie still during a longer scan without severe anxiety or other limitations

This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to learn more about lymphoma in adults. The scan may help doctors better understand your cancer and guide treatment decisions.
This trial looks at whether PET/CT scans can better predict outcomes in people with fast-growing lymphoma. If you are newly diagnosed and receiving standard treatment, the study may help refine how response is evaluated.
This trial compares a new type of imaging scan (SPECT/CT) to the standard PET/CT scan to see if it can help diagnose and monitor lung cancer just as well. If you have lung cancer and are about to start treatment, you may be able to join to help test this new method.
This trial uses a new radioactive tracer that attaches to a protein found on many solid tumors, allowing doctors to see tumors on a PET scan. It may help improve how tumors are detected and monitored.
This study tests whether a special imaging scan using a radioactive sugar (18F-FDG) can help doctors better examine lung cancer tissue during thoracic surgery. You may be offered the scan around the time of your operation to help researchers learn how well it works.
