Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy Response Assessment with F-18 Fluorothymidine Positron-Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Melanoma Brain Metastasis: A Pilot Study

Abstract

The five cases presented show the potential benefit of hybrid FLT-PET/MRI for the diagnosis of MBM and treatment monitoring of targeted therapy and immunotherapy. However, further studies are required to assess their complementary role in distinguishing true progression from pseudoprogression.
