Evaluate the utility of PET/CT in assessment of therapy response and restaging', 'detailedDescription': 'Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and it represents the main cause of cancer mortality worldwide.\n\nIt is histopathological classified into main groups: Small cell lung cancer (15%) and Non-small cell lung cancer (85%). NSCLCs are generally subcategorized into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), and large cell carcinoma. Positron emission tomography (PET) is now an important cancer imaging tool, both for diagnosis and staging, as well as offering prognostic information based on response.\n\nPET sets the gold standard in the evaluation of an indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodule or mass, where PET has proven to be significantly more accurate than computed tomography (CT).\n\nFor NSCLC chest CT is the standard imaging modality for assessing primary tumor size and identifying its margins. PET-CT may be helpful in assessing a nodule located in same lobe. It can also provide information on parietal or mediastinal involvement. PET is useful for differentiating tumor tissue from atelectasis, which may be helpful if radiotherapy is planned to determine the target volume .\n\nIn the evaluation of metastatic spread to loco-regional lymph nodes, PET is significantly more accurate than CT, so that invasive surgical staging may be omitted in many patients with negative mediastinal PET images.\n\nIn patients with positive mediastinal PET images, invasive surgical staging remains mandatory because of the possibility of false-positive findings due to inflammatory nodes or granulomatous disorders.\n\nForty percent of patients with NSCLC have distant metastases at presentation, most commonly in the adrenal glands, bones, liver, or brain .\n\nIn the search for metastatic spread, PET is a useful adjunct to conventional imaging. This may be due to the finding of unexpected metastatic lesions or due to exclusion of malignancy in lesions that are equivocal on standard imaging. However, at this time, PET does not replace conventional imaging.\n\nThe diagnostic accuracy of initial pre-therapy PET-CT results in improved staging, and thus is of high prognostic value.\n\nMany studies conducted the value of using semi-quantitative measures as metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and Total lesion glycolysis (TLG) in predicting prognosis and survival rather than the traditional method of measuring Standard uptake value (SUV).\n\nSeveral studies have demonstrated that PET imaging proves useful for assessing the response to chemo therapy or targeted therapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'All eligible patients during the period of the study will be included (total coverage).\n\nExpected number according to patients flow is 30 patients.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with pathologically proven lung cancer and referred to nuclear medicine unit to perform PET/CT for staging and patient referred for assessment of response of therapy and re staging.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnant women.\n* Patients unable to sleep in a fixed position for 20 minutes.\n* Severely ill patients who aren't capable of complying with study procedures or comatose patients.\n* Patients with known second primary"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04395651', 'briefTitle': 'The Role of 18F-FDG-PET/CT Scan in Lung Cancer Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assiut University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Role of 18F-FDG-PET/CT Scan in Lung Cancer Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'PET/CT in lung cancer'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'PET/CT', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': 'It is a prospective clinical study that will include patients known to have lung cancer and referred to nuclear medicine unit to perform 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging and therapy planning as well as patients referred for assessment of response of therapy and restaging.'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Walaa Otify Thabet, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'dr.walaaotify@yahoo.com', 'phone': '01020140716'}, {'name': 'Hemat E Mahmoud, Dr.', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'Tahamohran@hotmail.com', 'phone': '01005052031'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Taha Zaky Mahran, Prof.Dr.', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Assiut University'}, {'name': 'Ahmad Zaher, Prof .Dr.', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'National Cancer Institute (NCI)'}, {'name': 'Nesreen Mekkawy, Dr.', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Assiut University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Assiut University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Assistant Lecturer-principal investigator', 'investigatorFullName': 'Walaa Otify Thabet', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Assiut University'}}}}
