PET/CT scan for people with glioma
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to take detailed pictures of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors understand your tumor better and plan your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Able to lie still for one hour in a scanner
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding (if female of childbearing age)
- No severe brain swelling or uncontrolled seizures
- Good physical function (Karnofsky score of 60 or higher)
- Depending on your tumor type, may need recent MRI and other specifics

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early-phase study tests how well a special PET-MRI scan (using a radioactive tracer) can find and measure low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors better track these tumors while you start or continue treatment.
This study looks for connections between detailed brain scans and tumor genetic features in people with glioblastoma. It may help researchers find better ways to understand your tumor and tailor future care.
This study uses special PET scans (fluciclovine and FDG) and advanced MRI to create a detailed metabolic profile of glioblastoma. It may help doctors better understand your tumor before surgery.
This study uses a special PET/MR scan to look at certain cells called cancer-associated fibroblasts in glioblastoma brain tumors. It aims to see if this imaging approach can better detect tumors or their recurrence, helping guide treatment decisions.
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can tell the difference between actual tumor growth and treatment-related changes in people with aggressive brain cancer (high-grade glioma). If you have had radiation and an MRI shows a growing lesion, this study may help clarify the cause.
