New PET scan for spotting cancer spread in the abdomen
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (Ga68-FAPI-46) to better see if cancer from the colon, rectum, or ovary has spread to the lining of the belly. If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove these cancer spots, this scan may help your doctors plan a more complete operation.
