This study aims to see if testing stool samples for multiple markers can accurately screen for stomach and colorectal cancers. About 5,000 adults scheduled for endoscopy will provide a stool sample before the procedure and be followed for two years. The goal is to develop a non-i…

This study tests a new PET imaging tracer, [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-SNA014, to detect a protein called Claudin18.2 in pancreatic and stomach cancers. The goal is to see if the scan can accurately identify patients whose tumors have this protein, which could help doctors choose the right t…

This study will test whether combining a special PET scan (18F-FAPI) with detailed MRI can better detect stomach cancer and its spread. Researchers will compare the accuracy of these scans in 230 people with suspected or confirmed gastric cancer. The goal is to see if this combo …

This study tests a new fluorescent dye that attaches to cancer cells, helping surgeons see exactly where a stomach tumor ends during surgery. The probe is tested on freshly removed stomach tissue from 32 patients. If successful, it could lead to more precise cancer removal and fe…
