New PET scanner study for people with cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new PET scanner that may give clearer or more detailed pictures of cancer. It is for people who are already scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and it could help doctors see cancer more precisely.

This trial tests a new type of PET scan to see how well it finds leftover cancer after you've had focal therapy (treatment to just part of the prostate) for intermediate-risk prostate cancer in the last 9 months.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
This study is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to make tumors easier to see. It may help doctors get more accurate information about your tumor before you have a biopsy or surgery.
This study tests a new, more detailed PET scanner designed specifically for prostate cancer. If you're already getting a PET scan for prostate cancer, you might help doctors see if this new scanner finds cancer better than the usual whole-body scan.
This study tests a high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes pictures of tissue removed during surgery to help doctors see if all the cancer has been removed. You might qualify if you are having surgery for a range of cancers including breast, prostate, thyroid, skin, gastrointestinal, or brain tumors.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a specialized imaging test) that may better detect certain cancers by looking for a specific marker found on many tumor types. The scan uses a new tracer called 18F-T2 to help doctors see cancer more clearly.
