PET-CT imaging study for cancer surgery patients
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for surgery to remove a cancerous tumor.
- Your tumor will be scanned with the AURA 10 PET-CT machine after it is removed.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
This study tests a new PET scanner that may give clearer or more detailed pictures of cancer. It is for people who are already scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and it could help doctors see cancer more precisely.
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 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 special imaging technique (called PSMA PET-CT) that may help doctors see prostate cancer more clearly during surgery. It could help them remove the cancer more completely, and it might give you a more targeted treatment.
