Monitoring Targeted Lung Cancer Treatments With FDG-PET/CT


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the prognostic significance of changes in glucose metabolism measured by
fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT scan in patients with
non-small cell lung cancer treated with targeted drugs comprising gefitinib, erlotinib
hydrochloride, or other ErbB inhibitors, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, or estrogen
receptor blockers in combination with conventional chemotherapy.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective study.

Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan and CT
scan at baseline and at 2 weeks and 12 weeks after receiving targeted anticancer treatment.
Metabolic changes detected by FDG-PET and size changes identified by CT scan are related to
patient outcome and tumor response to treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients will be accrued for this study.
