Summary

This study tests a new, high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes detailed pictures of a tumor right after it is removed during surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see if any cancer cells are left behind, so they can remove more tissue if needed. About 50 adults with solid tumors will join, and the scan adds no extra visits or known risks. The results will be compared with standard lab tests to see how well the scanner works.
