[18F] Flourothymidine (FLT) PET/CT Imaging for Gynecologic Cancers
- Conditions
- Gynecologic Cancer
- Interventions
- Radiation: [18F]Fluorothymidine (FLT) PET/CT Imaging
- Registration Number
- NCT02108457
- Lead Sponsor
- Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of specific bone marrow maps developed with18F-FLT PET/CT imaging on the ability to spare proliferating bone marrow using proton beam radiotherapy compared to IMRT. Participants will be 18 years of age or old with a history of gynecologic cancer. Subjects will undergo 3 FLT-PET scans (one before treatment, one during the course of RT, and one 2-5 weeks after initiation of RT). Scans will take place in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
