First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This early study tests a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (64Cu-M5A) to highlight rectal cancer cells. The goal is to see if this scan can show tumor extent and response better than standard scans in 15 adults with locally advanced rectal cancer before and after chemotherapy and radiation. The study focuses on improving imaging, not on treating the cancer directly.
