New PET scan tracer for finding cancer spread
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging technique using a special tracer (68Ga-DOTA-BLP) that may help spot cancer more accurately. It is for people with confirmed cancer who have suspicious lymph nodes or possible spread, and who have not yet started cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a cancer diagnosis confirmed by a biopsy or surgery.
- Your scans must show suspicious lymph nodes or signs that cancer may have spread.
- You must not have received any cancer treatment (like chemo or radiation) before this scan.
- You must not have had more than 50 mSv of radiation exposure in the past year.
- You must be able to tolerate a PET scan and have no medical conditions that would make it unsafe.
