New scan could spot hidden cancers
NCT ID NCT03164486
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new radioactive tracer called 18F-alphavbeta6-binding-peptide to see if it can safely and clearly show cancers in the breast, colon, lung, or pancreas. About 27 adults with these cancers will get the tracer and have a PET scan. The goal is to find out if this method can help doctors locate tumors better than current scans.
