Brief Summary

This registry study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and clinical impact of specimen PET-CT imaging by analyzing the correlation between specimen PET-CT images, intraoperative interpretations, and histopathological findings. Additionally, it assesses how these imaging insights influence clinical decision-making and long-term patient outcomes. Through this comprehensive analysis in a real-world setting, the study seeks to generate valuable insights that can enhance specimen evaluation processes and ultimately improve patient care.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the correlation between the specimen PET-CT images and final histopathological examination of the specimen.Perioperative

The concordance rate between the specimen PET-CT images and final histopathological examination of the specimen.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To investigate whether preoperatively available information (such as tumor subtype, anatomical location, tumor biology, size, grade or TNM classification) as well as intra-operatively available information influence specimen PET-CT images.Perioperative

The measurement of electron density (in Hounsfield Units (HU)) in specimen PET-CT images, comparing patients with various preoperatively available characteristics, as well as intra-operatively available information.

To investigate the influence of different PET radiotracers, activity, physiological parameters and imaging parameters on PET-radiotracer uptake and image quality in specimen PET-CT images.Perioperative

The assessment of PET image quality (signal to noise ratio) in relation to imaging parameters (decay time). This will involve evaluating how changes in these parameters impact image quality and identifying the optimal parameters for improving the specimen PET-CT imaging workflow.

To assess the safety profile of PET-CT imaging procedures.From surgery to 3 years long term follow-up

The incidence of related (serious and non-serious) adverse events following the specimen PET-CT imaging procedure, including the severity, type, and frequency and relationship (possible, probable, causal relationship).

To assess the correlation between the intra-operative interpretation of specimen PET-CT images and histopathological examination of the specimen and its impact on clinical decision-making.Perioperative

The concordance rate between the specimen PET-CT image interpretation and histopathological examination of the specimen. This will include sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the intra-operative interpretation of specimen PET-CT images compared to final histopathological examination.

The concordance rate of the clinical decisions made based on specimen PET-CT images with the clinical decisions supported by final histopathological examination (e.g. additional resection during surgery, follow-up treatment strategy, etc).

To assess the correlation between long-term follow-up clinical outcome and specimen PET-CT imaging findings.From surgery to 3 years long term follow-up

The incidence of biochemical, local, regional and distant recurrence rate at 1, 2 and 3 years of follow-up.

The measurement of functional outcome at 1, 2 and 3 years of follow-up.

To evaluate the influence of neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) on PET radiotracer uptake in specimen PET-CT imaging.Perioperative

The measurement of PET radiotracer uptake (in MBq/mL) in specimen PET-CT images, comparing patients with different neoadjuvant treatments and those who did not receive neoadjuvant treatment.
