Special PET Scan for Breast Cancer - FAPi Imaging
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPi-46) to see how breast cancer interacts with nearby cells. It may help doctors understand your tumor better and guide treatment decisions, especially if you are planning surgery or chemotherapy before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older
- You have been newly diagnosed with invasive breast cancer that is larger than 2 centimeters
- The cancer has spread to lymph nodes under your arm (seen on imaging)
- You have already had a standard PET scan (FDG-PET/CT) as part of your diagnosis
- You are able to lie still for a PET scan and are not pregnant or nursing

This trial uses a special PET scan to look at diseases like cancer. It aims to see if this new imaging method can help doctors find or monitor disease better. This could be helpful for people with confirmed or suspected cancer or other conditions.
This study tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI-04) for PET scans to see if it can better detect breast cancer or its spread. It may help doctors find tumors more clearly.
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan using a tracer called FAPI can better detect if breast cancer has spread to lymph nodes under the arm after neoadjuvant treatment. If successful, it could guide more precise surgery and avoid unnecessary lymph node removal.
This study tests whether a new type of PET/CT scan (called FAP PET/CT) can better show where breast cancer has spread compared to the standard scan. It is done at the same time as your usual scan, so it adds no extra visits.
This study tests a new imaging method using a special tracer and PET/MRI scans to better see breast cancer. It may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
This trial uses a special PET scan (FAPi PET) to see if it can help spot pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma better than standard scans. It may offer a more precise way to check the extent of the disease.
