  3. Willing and able to undergo the study procedures.
  4. Has personally provided written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria 8

  2. Pregnancy.
  3. Patients with secondary malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancer).
  4. No 18F-FDG PET/CT or 18F-FDG PET/MRI scan.
  5. Contra-indications for PET/MRI such as pacemaker, aneurysm clips, metallic device in their body, severe claustrophobia, and severe obesity

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The proportion of discordant pairs: How many lesions are detected on the 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET scan but not on the 18F-FDG PET scan and how many lesions are detected on the 18F-FDG PET scan but not on the 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET scan?

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. To investigate the proportion of 68Ga-FAPI-46-positive 18F-FDG-negative lesions for which performing a biopsy is not feasible.
