PET availability was reported by 96/103 (93.2%) sites, of whom 74 reported PET use in patients with brain tumors. Most frequently, PET was performed in glioma (69/74, 93.2%), followed by brain metastasis (58/74, 78.4%), meningioma (52/74, 70.3%), and CNS lymphoma (46/74, 62.2%). Amino acid PET was used at 62/71 centers (87.3%), mainly in glioma (58/59, 98.3%) and for differentiation of tumor progression from treatment-related changes (58/59, 98.3%), differential diagnosis (54/59, 91.5%), and hotspot delineation (47/59, 79.7%). Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) PET was performed at 50/68 sites (73.5%), predominantly in meningioma (48/49, 98.0%), and for patient selection before radioligand therapy (41/49, 83.7%) as well as for target volume definition in radiotherapy (33/49, 67.3%) and differential diagnosis (27/49, 55.1%). PET was covered by statutory health insurance at 46/59 (78.0%) centers for amino acid PET and 33/49 (67.3%) for SSTR PET according to self-reported information. Main reasons for not performing PET in clinical routine included limited availability of tracers (14/29, 48.3%), high cost (11/29, 37.9%), and PET considered unnecessary by referring physicians (8/29, 27.6%).CONCLUSIONPET is widely used among EORTC-BTG sites, although implementation varies and is influenced by factors such as tracer availability, cost, and institutional perceptions. While further data from broader surveys including non-academic institutions is needed, the findings support the implementation of PET as clinical trial endpoint. 001053910 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5253$$a5253 - Neuroimaging (POF4-525)$$cPOF4-525$$fPOF IV$$x0 001053910 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001053910 7001_ $$aLohmann, Philipp$$b1 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)143792$$aGalldiks, Norbert$$b2$$ufzj 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBelting, Mattias$$b3 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBrandal, Petter$$b4 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBroen, Martinus P G$$b5 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCicone, Francesco$$b6 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDaisne, Jean-François$$b7 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDucray, François$$b8 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aEhret, Felix$$b9 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aFurtner, Julia$$b10 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aJakola, Asgeir S$$b11 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aNiyazi, Maximilian$$b12 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPellerino, Alessia$$b13 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRasschaert, Marika$$b14 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRazis, Evangelia$$b15 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSahm, Felix$$b16 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSmits, Marion$$b17 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aTolboom, Nelleke$$b18 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aVerger, Antoine$$b19 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLe Rhun, Emilie$$b20 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMinniti, Giuseppe$$b21 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aWeller, Michael$$b22 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPreusser, Matthias$$b23 001053910 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAlbert, Nathalie L$$b24 001053910 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2094060-9$$a10.1093/neuonc/noaf201.1161$$gVol. 27, no.
