A Study of Fluorine F 18 Fluorodopa-Labeled PET Scans for Planning Surgery and Radiation Therapy to Treat Patients who have Newly Diagnosed High- or Low-Grade Glioma Brain Cancer Tumors

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of fluorine F 18 fluorodopa-labeled PET scanning for the planning of surgery and radiation therapy to treat patients who have newly diagnosed high- or low-grade glioma brain tumors. New imaging procedures, such as fluorine F 18 fluorodopa-labeled PET scans, may help in guiding surgery and radiation therapy and allow doctors to plan better treatment.
