PET/CT scan to help find early lung cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan to spot early lung cancer by finding specific body processes linked to cancer. It compares scan results in people with lung nodules that are either cancer (lung adenocarcinoma) or likely benign.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- A CT scan shows at least one lung nodule that is 1 cm or larger
- You will join either the cancer group (lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by biopsy or surgery) or the benign group (likely non-cancer based on nodule guidelines, lung-RADS 1–3)
- You are not currently pregnant
- You do not have diabetes
- You are not taking SGLT2 inhibitor pills or metformin

This study uses a special PET imaging scan to help doctors see how well pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) is working against advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You'll receive the scan along with your regular pembrolizumab treatment and possible radiation therapy to help measure treatment response.
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
This trial compares a new type of imaging scan (SPECT/CT) to the standard PET/CT scan to see if it can help diagnose and monitor lung cancer just as well. If you have lung cancer and are about to start treatment, you may be able to join to help test this new method.
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) with a safe radioactive tracer to help doctors look for or track conditions like cancer, brain problems, or heart issues. It may help get clearer answers for your condition.
