New scan aims to uncover hidden breast cancer in early stage patients
NCT ID NCT06540872
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new imaging method called FAPI-PET/MRI to see if it can detect hidden invasive breast cancer in 30 people diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a common pre-stage of breast cancer. Participants receive a weakly radioactive drug and lie in a scanner for about 45 minutes. The results will be compared to tissue samples from surgery to see how accurate the scan is.
