An interventional study of PET/CT Scans in Lung Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, sponsored by University Health Network, Toronto. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-08-14.
Sponsored by University Health Network, Toronto · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
This study will see whether the addition of more frequent planning CTs during the course of radiation, and of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a diagnostic test similar to CT, prior to and during a course of radiation may provide information that could potentially be used during the treatment to improve the initial radiation plan.
Exclusion Criteria:
PET Imaging requires the use of an investigational drug, a radioactively-labelled sugar called 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). FDG is glucose labelled with a radioactive fluorine atom. It is given by intravenous injection and is particularly absorbed by cancer cells. The radioactive signal given off by the FDG can then be detected by the PET scanner providing an image of the cancer (or tumour).
GTV volumes
The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using 4D CT (GTV4DCT) planning scans is a prognostic parameter for NSCLC.
Time frame: 2 weeks post RT treatment
