What is this study trying to find out about tumors in children and young adults?

This study is comparing different imaging methods—MR imaging, PET/MR imaging, and PET/CT imaging—to see which is better at accurately diagnosing tumors in children and young adults. It helps to understand which imaging technique can provide the most reliable information for tumor detection. Participants can expect to undergo these imaging scans for evaluation.

Who may be eligible for this tumor imaging study?

People up to 40 years old with proven solid tumors or newly diagnosed masses likely to be solid tumors may be eligible. Some patients with leukemia and focal lesions may also qualify. All participants or their parents must give informed consent. Please review eligibility criteria for more details.

Is there any cost to participate in this tumor imaging study?

Study-related care, including imaging tests and all trial visits, is provided at no cost. However, personal expenses like travel may vary and might not be covered. Participants should plan accordingly for any additional costs.

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare three imaging techniqueswhole body magnetic resonance MR imaging, whole body positron emission tomography PETMR imaging, and, if available, PETcomputed tomography CT imagingin diagnosing tumors in children and young adults. The study focuses on assessing differences in sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy among these imaging methods for solid tumors and certain leukemia cases with suspected focal lesions. The study is observational and involves participants with proven or suspected solid tumors.
