Using FAPI-PET imaging to detect tumors

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 observational trial investigates the effectiveness of 68-Ga-FAPI PET/CT or PET/MRI imaging in detecting tumors in patients undergoing staging or restaging for malignancies. The study aims to correlate imaging results with histopathology, assess the positive predictive value, detection rate, and reproducibility of the imaging technique, and evaluate its impact on clinical management. Data will be collected from patients receiving this imaging modality as part of their routine clinical care.
