[18F] Flourothymidine (FLT) PET/CT Imaging for Gynecologic Cancers

Completed
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.
