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.

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 new high-resolution PET/CT scanner used during breast-conserving surgery to check if all cancer has been removed. It aims to reduce the need for repeat surgeries by giving surgeons real-time feedback on tumor margins.
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 trial tests a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to check if proton radiation therapy—a precise type of cancer treatment—is working safely and accurately in breast cancer patients after surgery. The study helps doctors make sure the radiation reaches the right areas and understand any side effects.
This trial tests a new PET scanner that may help doctors see where cancer is in your body more clearly. It is for adults with lung, prostate, or head and neck cancer who are already scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
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.
