Using 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan for thyroid cancer lymph nodes
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see how well it finds cancer spread in lymph nodes before thyroid cancer surgery. It may help doctors plan your treatment more accurately.

This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread after surgery. It may help your doctor decide on the best next steps for your care.
This study tests a new type of PET scan to find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread. It compares two tracers to see which one better shows the cancer, which may help doctors choose the right treatment.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (F-18 Tetrafluoroborate) to find thyroid cancer cells that don't show up on standard scans. It's for people who have had surgery and radioactive iodine therapy but still have signs of cancer in their blood tests.
This study uses a special type of PET scan called FAPI PET to see if it can help detect or monitor cancer and other diseases. It is for people who already need a PET or CT/MRI scan as part of their standard care.
This study tests a new kind of PET/CT scan that uses a tracer called 18F-FAPI to see if it can better detect cancer in the lymph nodes under the arm after you've already had chemotherapy or targeted therapy before surgery. If successful, this could help doctors plan more precise surgery and avoid removing unnecessary lymph nodes.
This study checks how well a new PET/CT scan (18F-TFB) can find thyroid cancer after a standard iodine whole-body scan. It may help doctors see where the cancer is using an added imaging test, which could improve planning for care.
