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.

- You can safely undergo an MRI (no metal implants or severe claustrophobia).
- You do not have serious heart, liver, kidney, or brain blood vessel disease.
- You can lie still for the entire MRI scan.

This study uses a special type of CT scan called spectral CT to see how far your stomach cancer has spread. The goal is to get a more accurate staging, which can help your doctor choose the best treatment for you.
This study looks at images from two types of scans (a PET/CT and an MRI) taken of people with stomach cancer. It aims to see how well these scans work together to show the cancer, which could guide better treatment planning.
This study looks at CT scans and clinical information from people with stomach cancer to see if they can help predict how the disease will progress. It may help doctors better understand each patient's situation.
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 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.
