Fludeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Cervical Heterogenity Imaging Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cervical Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography
Registration Number
NCT00907140
Lead Sponsor
Washington University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

Rationale: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), may help determine response to standard cancer therapy in patients with cervical cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in cervical tumor heterogenity as measured by FDG-PET/CT imaging.
