Women with known or suspected recurrent or metastatic uterine cancer may be eligible for this study. Patients may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age, most participants will be receiving care at the clinical practices of the University of Pennsylvania.

\[18F\]fluoroestradiol (FES) PET/CT imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor (ER) activity in areas of disease known by standard of care imaging (e.g. CT, MRI, Bone Scan, FDG PET/CT, ultrasound) or clinical exam. For patients starting a new line of therapy, imaging will occur prior to starting new therapy. For patients who completed an initial scan and are starting new therapy, some patients may also undergo a second FES PET/CT scan at the time of suspected progression of disease to compare for changes in FES uptake measures (prior to initiation of next line therapy).

Women with known or suspected recurrent or metastatic uterine cancer may be eligible for this study. Patients may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age, most participants will be receiving care at the clinical practices of the University of Pennsylvania.

\[18F\]fluoroestradiol (FES) PET/CT imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor (ER) activity in areas of disease known by standard of care imaging (e.g. CT, MRI, Bone Scan, FDG PET/CT, ultrasound) or clinical exam. For patients starting a new line of therapy, imaging will occur prior to starting new therapy. For patients who completed an initial scan and are starting new therapy, some patients may also undergo a second FES PET/CT scan at the time of suspected progression of disease to compare for changes in FES uptake measures (prior to initiation of next line therapy). The selection of therapy will be made by a treating physician and will not be affected by participation in this imaging study. Results of the FES PET/CT scan may be shared with the treating physician or subject by request but will not be used to make clinical decisions about treatment.

This is a phase II study using the novel radiotracer \[18F\]fluoroestradiol (FES). Patients with metastatic, recurrent, or intact non-operated uterine cancer not treated with surgery. Patients may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age. Volunteers that meet the eligibility criteria will be considered for study participation regardless of race or ethnic background. We anticipate enrolling up to 30 evaluable subjects who meet eligibility requirements for this study, due to the nature of the disease population all subjects will be women. Subjects will be considered evaluable if they complete at least one FES PET/CT scan. Patients who come to the University of Pennsylvania for diagnosis and/or treatment of this gynecological cancer may be approached by study personnel for recruitment into this study. Patients will be approached initially in person, by phone or email about study participation. After discussion of the study procedures, risks and benefits, if the subject agrees to participate in the study, the FES PET/CT will be ordered by a physician and scheduled. Subjects may cancel the scan appointment at any time prior to the injection of FES with no negative impact to them or their medical care at University of Pennsylvania. A written informed consent will be reviewed with the subject and signed prior to any study procedures being performed. The selection of therapy will be made by a treating physician and will not be affected by participation in this imaging study.

Accrual will likely occur over approximately 2 years. Subjects who are enrolled but are unable to complete the entirety of their FES imaging procedure will be considered non-evaluable. If this occurs, we will plan to replace this subject in the enrollment, due to this we anticipate that we may enroll up to 40 subjects in order to meet our target enrollment of 30 evaluable subjects.

Participants will undergo up to two FES PET/CT scans. The first scan is the initial study scan and the only required of the study. A second optional FES PET/CT scan may be done at the time of progression after initiation of therapy, prior to initiation of next line therapy, to collect data on the changes in FES uptake with therapy and therapy utilized.

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor activity in sites of metastatic uterine cancer using the investigational radiotracer \[18F\]FES. Imaging will be performed using a whole-body PET/CT scanner. The protocol will be performed under the regulatory approval of the IRB and FDA IND. Subjects will undergo a skull base to mid-thigh PET/CT scan starting at approximately 60 minutes after \[18F\]FES injection. Images will be reconstructed using standard reconstruction techniques.

If a patient will be undergoing a clinical biopsy or surgery, they may be asked to consent for collection of tissue for the purposes of this research study. If the investigator deems that there is a site accessible for research biopsy, the subject may be consented for an optional research only biopsy at baseline and after starting treatment; however, consent for research tissue collection is not required for entry into the study. Results of standard uterine cancer pathology immunohistochemistry (IHC) which includes estrogen receptor (ER), will be collected from archival tissue if available and performed on any new biopsy.

A research blood sample may be collected at the time of the FES PET/CT scan that will be evaluated for the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Identified CTCs will be tested for estrogen receptor positivity. Serum estradiol and other related levels including sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) will be analyzed. FES uptake measures will be compared to the number of ER+ CTCs and the ratio of ER + to ER- CTCs present. This blood draw will be optional and may be omitted at the choice of the investigator or the subject
