NCT ID NCT07552207

First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study will compare two types of PET/MRI scans to see which one is better at finding cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in people with middle to high rectal cancer. About 30 patients who have not yet been treated will get both scans before surgery. The goal is to see if the newer scan, [68Ga]Ga-CTR-FAPI PET/MRI, is more accurate than the standard 18F-FDG PET/MRI.
