Evaluation of 18F-TFB PET/CT Scan in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Evaluation of F-18 Tetrafluoroborate (18F-TFB) PET/CT in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This phase II study evaluates F-18 tetrafluoroborate (18F-TFB) PET/CT scan in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Diagnostic imaging is necessary for planning treatment, monitoring therapy response, and identifying sites of recurrent or metastatic disease in differentiated thyroid cancer. 18F-TFB PET/CT may accurately detect recurrent and metastatic thyroid cancer lesions, with the potential to provide information for patient management that is better than the current standard of care imaging practices.
