PET scans targeting FAP for oral cancer and recurrence
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a substance called FAP to better find oral squamous cell cancer and check for recurrence. It may help doctors see where cancer activity is and guide treatment planning, especially around surgery and (for some people) neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must agree to join and sign informed consent
- You’re between 18 and 70 years old

- You can complete the PET/CT scans before and after treatment (for locally advanced cases on certain therapy, the follow-up scan may use FAPI)
- Your blood sugar must be below 11.0 mmol/L before the FDG injection
