NCT ID NCT06144853
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study looked at whether repeated FDG-PET/CT scans can help select patients and evaluate how well a special chemotherapy (PIPAC) works for cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. 34 patients with various abdominal cancers were included. The goal was to see if the scans could detect metabolic changes in tumors after treatment.

FDG-PET/CT scan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that PET scans are a useful tool to guide treatment decisions for people with abdominal cancer spread.

This is a very small pilot study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on imaging, not on improving survival or symptoms.
