New PET scanner study for people with cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new PET scanner that may help doctors see where cancer is in your body more clearly. It is for adults with lung, prostate, or head and neck cancer who are already scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have lung, prostate, or head and neck cancer (diagnosed by biopsy)
- You must be scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering's main campus
- If you have lung cancer, you must have one or more lung nodules
- If you have prostate or head and neck cancer, the cancer must have spread to your chest, belly, or pelvis
- Some patients may need to come back for an extra scan 2 to 6 hours after the injection

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 trial compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which is better at finding prostate cancer, tracking its return, or spotting spread. It's for people with prostate cancer or those being checked for recurrence after treatment.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
This study is testing a new type of PET scanner (called J-PET) to see if it works as well as current PET/CT machines. If you are already scheduled for a whole-body PET/CT scan, participating would mean your scan is done with this experimental scanner instead.
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
