Summary

This trial studies a new imaging substance called 68Ga-FAPI that helps doctors see cancer cells more clearly in patients with various cancers. It works by attaching to cancer cells and lighting them up during a PET scan, which may help identify smaller tumors than standard imaging. Gallium-68-labeled FAPI is increasingly used in the staging of various cancers.
