A Study Comparing Cancer Imaging Approaches in People With Lobular Breast Cancer (NCT06557148)
18F-Fluoroestradiol (FES) Positron Emission Tomography for the Detection and Treatment Response Monitoring in Patients With Metastatic Lobular Breast Carcinoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study to compare two types of cancer imaging scans to see which is better at detecting and monitoring metastatic ILC. This study will compare PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) scans using the radiotracer fluorine 18 (18F)-fluoroestradiol (FES) with a standard imaging approach for detecting and monitoring ILC, PET/CT scans using the radiotracer 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). These scans will be referred to as FES PET/CT scans and FDG PET/CT scans.
