Study of 18F-FAPI-04 PETCT and PETMR Scans for Detecting and Monitoring Various Cancers

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the potential usefulness of 18F-FAPI-04 positron emission tomographycomputed tomography PETCT and positron emission tomographymagnetic resonance imaging PETMR for diagnosing primary and metastatic cancer lesions, detecting recurrence, and assessing pathological response across various cancer types. The study is observational and aims to assess how well these imaging methods perform compared to standard diagnosis using histopathology and follow-up. Participants with different types of cancer undergo imaging with 18F-FAPI-04 PETCT and PETMR scans. The tracer 18F-FAPI-04 is injected into patients before the scans. Tumor uptake is measured by maximum standard uptake value SUVmax and tumor to background ratio TBR. The imaging results are compared using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy to evaluate diagnostic performance. During the study, participants are assessed through these imaging procedures to monitor tumor presence, recurrence, or response to treatment. The primary outcome is the diagnostic performance evaluated over one year. The study includes participants aged 18 to 90 years and involves informed consent and ethical approval. The total duration and follow-up details are based on imaging and clinical evaluations to confirm findings.
