FET-PET/MRI Based Treatment Planning for Glioblastoma Multiforme in Post-Surgical Patients (FET-TREAT)

Recruiting
Conditions
Glioblastoma Multiforme
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: FET-PET/MRI
Registration Number
NCT06451042
Lead Sponsor
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Brief Summary

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) represent the most common primary brain malignancy and prognosis remains poor. The most common subtype is glioblastoma which has a 5-year survival rate of approximately 5%. Despite advances in MRI techniques, accurately determining total extent of tumor remains a challenge. The result is incomplete treatment resulting in reduced survival or overtreatment resulting in avoidable treatment related morbidity. A more accurate means of assessing tumor extent is needed to guide management to improve patient survival and quality of life.
