Better imaging during cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a solid tumor cancer
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the cancer with the goal of curing it
- You are 18 years or older
- You are expected to live more than 12 weeks
- You are in generally good health (able to do most daily activities)
- Your blood sugar is less than 200 mg/dL on the day of surgery before the scan

This trial uses a special PET-CT scanner to take high-resolution images of cancer tumors that have been surgically removed. The goal is to see how well these images match the results from standard lab tests, such as pathology, and to track long-term outcomes.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan (called 68Ga-NYM096) to see if it can help find different types of cancer. The scan may help doctors get clearer pictures of where cancer is in your body.
This study tests whether a special PET scan (micro-PET-CT) taken just after tumor removal can help confirm that no cancer cells are left behind. It is for patients with head and neck cancers who are scheduled for surgery.
This study tests a high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes pictures of tissue removed during surgery to help doctors see if all the cancer has been removed. You might qualify if you are having surgery for a range of cancers including breast, prostate, thyroid, skin, gastrointestinal, or brain tumors.
This study tests whether a special imaging scan using a radioactive sugar (18F-FDG) can help doctors better examine lung cancer tissue during thoracic surgery. You may be offered the scan around the time of your operation to help researchers learn how well it works.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a special imaging test) called 18F-FGIn to help doctors better detect and evaluate cancers. It may be more accurate than the standard PET scan for certain tumors like brain, liver, stomach, and colon cancers.
