FAPI PET scan for finding cancer spread
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have cancer confirmed by a biopsy or surgery.
- You must have a scan showing possible spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
- You cannot have started cancer treatment yet (before the PET scan).
- You cannot have had major surgery in the last 3 months or taken experimental drugs/devices in the last month.
- You cannot have had high radiation exposure (more than 50 mSv) in the past year.

This study compares two types of PET scans (FDG and FAPI) in people with suspected or newly diagnosed cancer. It aims to learn which scan gives better images of different cancers, potentially helping guide treatment decisions.
This study uses a special PET scan called 18F-FAPI-04 to take detailed images of different kinds of cancer. It aims to see if this scan can help doctors better find and monitor tumors.
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.
This trial studies a special PET/CT scan called FAPI PET/CT to see how well it can detect or track cancerous tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer without extra procedures.
This study uses a special PET scan (FAPI-PET) during routine workup to help detect tumors and decide how far they may have spread. You may be able to take part if you need a staging or restaging scan and can safely complete the imaging.
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.
