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.
