Brain imaging study for ER+ breast cancer with brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special PET scan called FES to see if it can detect estrogen receptors in brain metastases. It may help doctors better target treatment for people with ER+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ER+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain (new or returning)
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have stopped certain hormone therapies (like tamoxifen) for at least 8 weeks and others (like fulvestrant) for at least 28 weeks
- You are able to take care of yourself (ECOG score 0 or 1)
- You are expected to live at least 6 more months
- You are already planning to have radiation for your brain tumors

This early study tests a special PET scan (a type of imaging) to look at newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see how well the scan can detect and measure cancer, which may help guide care.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well stereotactic radiotherapy works for brain metastases. You may join if you have at least one brain tumor that your doctor thinks should be treated with this precise type of radiation.
This trial tests a special PET scan (18F-fluciclovine) to see how well it shows brain metastases after stereotactic radiosurgery (a precise form of radiation). It may help doctors better understand treatment effects.
This trial compares two types of PET scans to see which one better detects ER-positive breast cancer. The results could help doctors choose the best scan for tracking your cancer.
This study uses a special type of brain scan (PET imaging) to better understand how cancer that has spread to the brain responds to radiation treatment. The scan may help doctors see which patients are responding well to treatment.
This study tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI-04) for PET scans to see if it can better detect breast cancer or its spread. It may help doctors find tumors more clearly.
