U.S., Dec. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07272772) titled 'Colon Cancer Diagnosis With FAPI-PET Imaging' on Nov. 26.
Brief Summary: Whole body CT is the primary imaging method in staging and follow-up of colon cancer. Conventional PET-CT with 18F-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) has its limitations and has a secondary role in colon cancer protocols. A new PET tracer, fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI), targeting a protein that is overexpressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts presents a potential new PET imaging tool.
The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT in patients with colon cancer. The aim is to evaluate the sen...
