Brain scans reveal hidden links between body diseases and metabolism
NCT ID NCT07203495
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 200 people with lung, gut, or hormone diseases over time using special brain scans (PET). It aims to see how these diseases change brain activity and whether those changes can predict tumor return, spread, or survival. No new treatment is tested—just observation and imaging.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of two groups: a healthy control group and a disease group. Healthy Control Group: Healthy volunteers or individuals recruited from health check-up populations, aged 18-75 years, who are confirmed through medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging evaluations to be free of the target diseases and related complications. Disease Group: Patients aged 18-75 years with a confirmed diagnosis of lung, gastrointestinal, or endocrine diseases. Participants will be excluded if they present with organic brain lesions detected on imaging (including but not limited to stroke, Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson's disease), have a history of psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia, or have other conditions that may interfere with cerebral metabolic imaging or influence prognosis.

Inclusion Criteria: Healthy Control Group: Healthy volunteers or individuals from health check-up populations who, based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and imaging assessments, are confirmed to be free of target diseases and related complications. Disease Group: Patients aged 18-75 years with a confirmed diagnosis of lung, gastrointestinal, or endocrine diseases. Exclusion Criteria: Presence of organic brain lesions identified on imaging, including but not limited to stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), or Parkinson's disease (PD). History of psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia, or other conditions that may affect cerebral metabolic imaging or prognosis.
