First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tested whether a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer (68Ga-PSMA) can improve how doctors see and manage advanced liver cancer that has spread. The tracer attaches to a protein found on liver cancer cells, making them show up on the scan. 29 adults with advanced liver cancer took part to see if this imaging method helps track treatment response and disease progression better than standard scans.
