New scan aims to spot breast cancer more accurately

NCT ID NCT07180433

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will test a new type of PET/MRI scan that uses a radioactive tracer called 18F-FAPI to see if it can detect breast cancer more accurately than current methods. The researchers will enroll 60 women with breast cancer at various stages. The goal is to see how well this scan finds tumors, lymph node spread, and recurrences compared to standard imaging and lab results.
