Using FAPI-PET to diagnose pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a special imaging scan called FAPI-PET to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer. If you are suspected of having pancreatic cancer or a recurrence, this study may help confirm or clarify your diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old
- You have a suspected new or returning pancreatic cancer

- You can understand and sign a consent form
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in a vulnerable group as defined by Finnish law
- You do not have a medical condition that would prevent a full-body PET/CT scan

This trial uses a special PET scan (FAPi PET) to see if it can help spot pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma better than standard scans. It may offer a more precise way to check the extent of the disease.
This trial tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI) to see if it can help find tumors early in people with lung, thyroid, pancreatic, melanoma, or neuroendocrine cancers.
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a substance called FAP to better find oral squamous cell cancer and check for recurrence. It may help doctors see where cancer activity is and guide treatment planning, especially around surgery and (for some people) neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.
