Open Question

Do amino-acid PET biomarkers, when standardized, change management and improve outcomes versus MRI alone in a prospective trial?

Evidence grade: MODERATE — Supported by moderate evidence.

Why it matters

PET could resolve the pseudoprogression problem, but adoption is limited by access and single-center heterogeneous evidence.

Conflicting evidence

PET-RANO/working-group support is largely built on retrospective, heterogeneous-threshold single-center data; outcome-linked prospective evidence is sparse.

What would resolve it

Prospective randomized/pragmatic trial: MRI±amino-acid PET for progression assessment with management-change and outcome endpoints; harmonized SUV/TBR thresholds.
