Study Summary

This trial is for patients who have had surgery to remove brain metastasis and are planned to have stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). It will be optional for patients to have a pre-surgery 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT scan. The goal of the study is to determine whether the imaging agent, 18F-Fluciclovine, will help physicians evaluate the extent of surgery and determine if there is any visible tumor above what MRI alone can identify as well as improve the physicians' ability to detect recurring disease.

Eligible Conditions
  • Metastatic Brain Tumors
  • Cancer Brain Metastases
