Fluoroestradiol PET/CT Imaging in Detecting Tumor Changes in Patients with Estrogen Receptor Positive Cancer
Trial Status: complete
This clinical trial studies how well F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging works in detecting tumor changes in patients with estrogen receptor positive cancer. Diagnostic drugs, such as F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol, may be absorbed by tumor cells with estrogen receptors and bind to them. PET/CT imaging can find how much F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol is present. F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol PET/CT imaging may help monitor changes in estrogen receptors in tumors during treatment.
