FAPI PET scan to diagnose pleural mesothelioma
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a newer type of PET scan (FAPI PET) can better diagnose pleural mesothelioma than a standard FDG PET scan. If you have a suspicious spot in your lung lining and need a biopsy, this study may help improve how we find and track this cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a suspicious lesion in your lung lining and are scheduled for a biopsy.
- You have already had or will have a standard FDG PET/CT scan as part of your workup.
- You are 18 years or older and able to understand the study and give consent.
- You are physically and mentally able to take part in the research.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you agree to a pregnancy test before each FAPI PET scan.
- You do not have another active cancer (except certain skin or cervical cancers) treated in the last year, and you are not in need of emergency surgery.
