Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging in metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigators will collect dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT scan and correlate the imaging findings with genomics and histopathological features of biopsy of primary or / and metastatic lesions in patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At the same time, the investigators will evaluate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging in differentiating multiple primary lung cancer from intrapulmonary metastases.
The aim of this study is to make up for this gap by performing a dynamic scan of 18F-FDG PET/CT on newly diagnosed patients with liver cancer. The lesions and/or metastases are performed for biopsy. Pathological and genomic studies are performed. The differences between tumor images and tissues are compared at the same time. 18F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging is explored in primary liver cancer metastases for the diagnostic value.
The purpose of the present study is to prospectively investigate the correlation between the metabolic parameters on FDG-PET before and during immunotherapy treatment with the immune infiltrate and other tissue or circulating markers in a NSCLC patients candidate to immunotherapy.
To investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-FET PET/MRI instead of MRI alone, children and adolescents with tumor in brain or spinal cord are included and scanned primarily at our hybrid PET/MRI using the amino acid analog 18F-FET. The scans are performed at primary diagnosis, before radiation therapy, before and after operation, when relapse is suspected and three or six months after initiation of chemotherapy.
The two main objectives of this prospective study are: - to identify those patients for whom pre-treatment FDG (Fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT-scan (Computed tomography scan) provides useful information for the treatment of breast cancer (ASAINT 1), - to improve FDG PET-CT-scan imaging criteria for assessing response to neoadjuvant therapy early, in M0-patients (ASAINT 2). The secondary objective is to better understand the interactions between the imaging parameters of FDG PET-CT-scan and biological and histological features of breast cancer . This is a non-interventional study. Two PET-CT-scans are performed, one before starting treatment, and the other after 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The two PET-CT-scans are prescribed by oncologists from the center of breast diseases Unit at St. Louis hospital, in Paris, France. Oncologists provide clear information to the patients on the purpose of the examination. The examinations are performed in the nuclear medicine department at St. Louis hospital. PET-CT-scans data, tumor characteristics, results of other imaging and biological tests, results of surgery and patient's follow-up are summarized in a "de-identified" file. This file has been declared to the National Commission on Informatics and Liberties (CNIL). The data in this file are established prospectively and secondary analyzed to assess the precise role of PET-CT-scans in the initial staging of breast cancer and to determine the optimal PET-CT-scans criteria to evaluate response to neoadjuvant treatment early.
