Summary
This trial is testing new imaging techniques to see if they can predict how well standard cancer treatments will work on a patient's specific tumor.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 suspected to have High-Grade Glioma (HGG) based on clinical assessments and MRI results. It's not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those who can't undergo PET scans due to conditions like claustrophobia.
What is being tested?
The study tests two PET imaging techniques: FMISO PET, which checks if tumor cells are lacking oxygen, and FLT PET, which examines cell growth. These will be compared with tissue biomarkers of hypoxia and proliferation to improve cancer treatment strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve diagnostic imaging rather than drug treatments, side effects may include discomfort during the scan process or reactions related to the contrast agents used in PET scans.
