New scan imaging to detect three types of cancer early

This trial is testing a new imaging approach using PET scans that target a specific protein called mesothelin, which appears in high amounts on certain cancer cells. The study aims to see if this imaging method can better detect and diagnose ovarian cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer. Researchers hope this new scan will help catch these cancers earlier, when they may be easier to treat.

Many cancers are not caught until they're advanced because they don't cause obvious symptoms early on. This trial is exploring a new way to create better images of these hard-to-detect cancers by targeting a protein that shows up on cancer cells, potentially helping doctors diagnose these diseases sooner and improve patient outcomes.
