New PET scan tracer could sharpen detection of liver spread in colorectal cancer
NCT ID NCT06935149
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new imaging tracer called 18F-PSMA-1007 can better detect liver metastases in people with colorectal cancer. Participants receive an injection of the tracer and then undergo a PET/CT scan. The goal is to see if this method finds the same liver lesions as standard imaging tools like CT or MRI. If it works, it could offer a more precise way to stage cancer and guide treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 18F-PSMA-1007 (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors more accurately detect liver metastases in colorectal cancer patients, guiding better treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The tracer may not detect all lesions, and there are risks from radiation exposure.
