Comparing imaging techniques for diagnosing gastric cancer

Preliminary Study on the Diagnostic Value Comparison of 18F-FAPI-04 PET/CT and PET/MR in Gastric Cancer

Hunan Cancer Hospital · NCT06543108

This study is testing if a new type of imaging combined with blood tests can better diagnose gastric cancer and its spread in patients already diagnosed with the disease.

What this trial studies

This project aims to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging combined with serum tumor markers in gastric cancer. It will evaluate the effectiveness of both PET/CT and PET/MR imaging in assessing peritoneal metastasis and construct a molecular imaging diagnostic model for gastric cancer. The study will involve patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who will undergo imaging and tumor marker testing within a specified timeframe.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who have been diagnosed with gastric cancer and can undergo the required imaging procedures.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of other malignant tumors or severe underlying health conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of gastric cancer diagnosis and staging, leading to better treatment outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of using 18F-FAPI-04 PET/CT is novel, similar imaging techniques have shown promise in other studies.
