Study Summary
This trial will study if a PET/CT scan can accurately detect benign/malignant tumors. Patients will receive a scan with a radioactive material & be monitored to see how accurate the scan is.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with known or suspected tumors that may take up a substance called 18F-fluorocholine, according to medical literature. Participants must be able to lie still for the scan and handle an IV injection. It's not suitable for medically unstable individuals, those too large for the PET/CT equipment, or those with severe claustrophobia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well a special type of imaging called an 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT scan can identify benign or malignant tumors compared to other clinical assessments. Up to 2000 patients will receive this scan in addition to their regular care.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the intervention are minimal but may include discomfort from lying still during the scan, reactions at the IV site where fluorocholine is injected, and anxiety due to confinement within the PET/CT scanner.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Fluorocholine PET/CTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The sole study-specific procedure is a single 18F-fluorocholine positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT). Subjects will receive 9 mCi 18F-fluorocholine IV, 5 to 120 minutes prior to PET/CT. 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT studies will be performed on hybrid PET/CT scanners which combine a dedicated, full-ring PET scanner with a multi-slice spiral CT scanner.

Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Fluorocholine PET/CT utilizes 18F-fluorocholine, a radiolabeled choline analog, which is preferentially taken up by cells with high lipid metabolism, such as cancer cells. Once inside the cell, 18F-fluorocholine is phosphorylated and incorporated into the cell membrane, allowing for precise imaging of tumors.
This mechanism is crucial for patients as it enhances the detection and localization of malignant tumors, leading to more accurate diagnosis and better-informed treatment decisions.
