About this trial

This is a prospective observational trial investigating correlation with histopathology, positive predictive value, detection rate, reproducibility and impact on clinical management of 68-Ga-FAPI PET/CT or PET/MRI in patients receiving this imaging modality for tumor staging or restaging as part of clinical care.

Time frame
3 Months
2

Detection rate on a per-region-basis of FAPI-PET for detection of tumor location, confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up.

3

Positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-patient-basis of FAPI-PET for detection of tumor location, confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up.

Time frame
3 Months
4

Positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-region-basis of FAPI-PET for detection of tumor location, confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up.
