FAPI PET scans to find breast cancer spread under the arm
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer that has not spread to distant organs.
- You have completed neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy or targeted treatment) before surgery.
- You are willing to undergo an extra PET/CT scan using a special tracer called FAPI.
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery and imaging (no serious uncontrolled medical conditions).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 uses a special PET scan (68Ga FAPI) to check if lymph nodes under the arm still have cancer after you finish pre-surgery treatment. It helps doctors see how well the treatment worked before you have surgery.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan using a special tracer (FAPI) to find cancer spread in people with lobular breast cancer when the standard scan was not clear. The goal is to see if this scan can spot more metastatic lesions, which may help guide treatment.
This study tests whether a special PET scan can better detect invasive lobular breast cancer that has spread. It may help doctors see the cancer more clearly and guide treatment decisions.
This study uses a new type of PET scan (called FAPI) to better see if cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It may help your doctor plan the right treatment without needing invasive tests.
