New PET Scan for Pancreatic Cancer Before Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI-46) to help see pancreatic cancer more clearly before surgery. The goal is to see if this new scan can find cancer that standard scans might miss, helping surgeons plan the best operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have pancreatic cancer that can be treated with surgery (after chemo if needed).
- You need to have had certain scans (contrast CT and MRI) as part of your usual care.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your kidney, liver, and blood levels must be in a certain safe range (these will be checked by your doctor).
- You must not have severe claustrophobia or other issues that prevent you from having an MRI or CT scan.
