This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing whether a special high-resolution PET-CT scanner can help surgeons see the edges of tumors more clearly right during surgery. The scanner takes detailed pictures of the tissue that's been removed, which could help doctors make sure all the cancer has been taken out and healthy tissue was left behind.
When surgeons remove a tumor, it's critical to make sure they've removed all the cancer while protecting as much healthy tissue as possible. This new imaging approach may help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends and healthy tissue begins during the operation itself, which could improve surgical outcomes.

If you join this study, your removed tumor tissue will be scanned with the high-resolution PET-CT imaging machine during or right after your cancer surgery. The study team will compare what this special scanner shows with what traditional pathology testing shows, to see if the new imaging helps identify cancer margins better. This happens as part of your normal surgical care, so there are no extra visits required beyond your standard surgery and follow-up appointments.
