Study Title
Study of the Effects of Dexamethasone on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using [F-18] FLT for Imaging With Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Study Details
Description:
This pilot research trial studies the effects of dexamethasone in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded after previous treatment. Drugs such as dexamethasone can affect how tumors grow and respond to treatments. Imaging tests, such as fluoro-L-thymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography , use a small amount of radioactive substance to show changes in tumor cells. Studying the effects of dexamethasone on lung tumors using FLT positron emission tomography may help doctors plan better treatments.
