Brief Summary: The goal of this phase 2 study trial is to evaluate the utility of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG used before and after treatment to diagnose, predict, and evaluate response to therapy in patients with a wide variety of metastatic cancers.
Detailed Description: OUTLINE:
Patients are evaluated with a PET/CT scan using the radiolabel 18F-FSPG \[18F-(S)-4-(3-fluoropropyl)-L-glutamic acid\] or 18F-FDG (\[18F\]-fluorodeoxyglucose), before and after therapeutic treatment.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
Uptake of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG in patients with biopsy-proven cancer will be evaluated and compared to the uptake of 18F-FDG, before and after therapy (non-specified) in the same group of patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
* Compare the agreement of the clinical assessment for cancer status between 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG. * Safety and tolerability of 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG.
