Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with confirmed tumor lesions from lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, or thyroid cancer.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of allergies to similar drugs or those currently involved in other clinical research may 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 evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a novel FAP targeted molecular probe, 18F-FAPI-YQ104, labeled with radioactive isotopes for diagnosing tumors. Participants will undergo PET-CT examinations to assess the probe's ability to identify lung cancers, pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and thyroid cancer. The study aims to gather data on the probe's performance in clinical applications, focusing on patients with confirmed tumor lesions. The trial includes a diverse patient population aged 18 to 75 years.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early diagnosis of various types of tumors, enhancing treatment outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies using targeted molecular probes have shown promise in tumor diagnosis.
