Using 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT to find thyroid cancer recurrence after surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT imaging in detecting recurrent and metastatic lesions in patients who have undergone surgery for thyroid cancer. Participants will be numbered and their medical history, including age and gender, will be recorded. When recurrence or metastasis is suspected, they will undergo a 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan, and the results will be compared to follow-up findings or histopathological results to assess accuracy.
