Description

We present a study concept of a prospective, multicentre trial on the value of 18F-FET PET in the post-therapeutic evaluation of childhood brain tumors (FET PET 2010). The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of 18F-FET PET in comparison to the MRI in differentiating residual tumor/recurrence from therapy-related changes in pediatric brain tumors after first line therapy. 160 patients will be recruited in this German multicenter study. Duration of study will be 3 years for all patients. (orig.)
