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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Correlation between 68Ga-FAPI PET uptake intensity and histopathologic FAP expression. Validation via immunohistochemical FAP staining/molecular analyses of pathological specimen.
Secondary outcomes
Detection rate on a per-patient-basis of FAPI-PET for detection of tumor location, confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up.
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.
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.
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.
