Overview

PET / CT examination using [18F] FAPI-74 is performed on patients diagnosed with malignant tumor, and the pathological condition is determined by comparing with FDG-PET/CT examination of conventional diagnostic imaging.

Description

Cancer stroma accounts for more than 90% of all tumors, and cancer-related fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in the growth and progression of cancer. FAP expressed in CAF has been found to be expressed in many cancers, and [68Ga] FAPI-04 and [18F] FAPI-74, which are PET diagnostic agents for FAP ligand FAPI, have been used all over the world. The purpose of this study is to perform PET / CT using [18F] FAPI-74 injection for patients diagnosed with malignant tumors, mainly pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer to evaluate the pathology in detail by comparing with the FDG-PET/CT.

  2. Patients who have been diagnosed with malignant tumor and are scheduled to receive or have undergone anticancer treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
  3. Patients suspected of recurrence by clinical findings or diagnostic imaging such as CT or FDG-PET after treatment of malignant tumor

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant women or patients who may be pregnant
  2. Pediatric patients requiring sedation
  3. Those who are judged to be inappropriate as subjects.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
