An Exploratory Study of Quantitative [18F]FLT-PET and Advanced MRI as Early Indicators of Treatment Response and Molecular Markers for Cell Proliferation in Patients With Glioblastoma Following Subtotal Resection
Patients with glioblastoma will be imaged with FLT PET/CT followed by MRI. The FLT uptake
will be correlated with advanced MRI markers of tumor progression to determine the ability
of using FLT PET and MRI for predicting response to treatment.
Observational
Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective
Change in FLT uptake, measured by SUV tumor/SUV normal contralateral white matter
Determines the change in FLT uptake as a result of chemotherapy/radiation therapy
Before and after chemotherapy/radiation therapy
