Best MRI method for staging stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses three different MRI scanning sequences to see which best helps stage (determine the spread of) stomach cancer. The goal is to improve how doctors plan treatment for gastric cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT) to get a more accurate picture of how far your stomach cancer has spread. The goal is to help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This trial looks at two types of scans—18F-FAPI PET/CT and MRI—to see how they compare for people with suspected or diagnosed gastric cancer. The goal is to learn which scan gives better information to help guide care.
This study compares two types of PET scans (FAPI and FDG) to see which one works better for diagnosing stomach cancer. You would receive both scans within a week, and your doctor would also check your blood for tumor markers.
This study uses a special type of ct scan (energy ct) to help doctors see stomach cancer more clearly. If you have been diagnosed with stomach cancer and are scheduled for surgery, this imaging test may help guide your treatment.
This study is testing whether using MRI scans can help doctors better plan radiotherapy for cancer patients. It involves having an MRI before your radiotherapy starts, and the results will be compared to your standard CT scan.
This trial uses two types of PET/CT scans (FDG and FAPI) to see how well chemotherapy or other treatments work before surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to find the best way to measure treatment response and help guide your care.
