Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with suspected or newly diagnosed malignant tumors.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are pregnant or have conditions that prevent them from undergoing imaging will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPI) compared to traditional 18F-FDG PET imaging in diagnosing various types of cancer. It will involve adult patients with suspected or newly diagnosed malignant tumors who will undergo both imaging techniques within a week. Clinical data, including tumor markers and imaging results, will be collected and analyzed to assess the performance of these imaging modalities in identifying primary and metastatic lesions. The study is set to run from January 2024 to December 2029.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more accurate imaging alternative for cancer diagnosis, potentially improving patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of FAPI in imaging is emerging, this specific comparative approach has not been widely tested, making it a novel investigation.
