New PET Scan for Finding Cancers More Accurately
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a special imaging test) called 18F-FGIn to help doctors better detect and evaluate cancers. It may be more accurate than the standard PET scan for certain tumors like brain, liver, stomach, and colon cancers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
