What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Precision medicine is a major goal in oncology. It aims to tailor treatments to the specific characteristics of each patient's tumor. This approach makes it possible to identify unique therapeutic targets and select the therapeutic alternative that specifically targets the abnormalities identified. Positron emission tomography (PET) plays a key role in this approach by providing detailed functional imaging of tumors in a non-invasive way. Usually, one radio-tracer is used to perform PET. Depending on the type of tumor, each tracer is carefully selected for its specific behavior and characteristics. However, it may be useful to perform several PET scans with different tracers, each providing different information, for the initial staging and therapeutic management of patients.

* or be post-menopausal (aged over 50 with amenorrhea for at least 12 months after stopping all exogenous hormone treatments);
* or (if under 50 years of age) have been in amenorrhea for at least 12 months after stopping exogenous hormone treatments and with luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels corresponding to post-menopausal levels;
* or have undergone irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy (this operation must be documented);
* Male patients will be required to use male contraception (condoms) for a duration of 3 months after the multiplexed PET Scan ;
* Women partners will be required to use an acceptable2 contraceptive measure (as they will not receive the trial drug) for a duration of 3 months after the multiplexed PET Scan ;
* Male partners will be required to use male contraception (condoms) for a duration of 6 months after the multiplexed PET Scan.
Exclusion Criteria:
* \- Known hypersensitivity to gallium-68, fluor-18 to any excipient or derivative or to radiographic contrast agents.
* Any major surgery within 4 weeks before enrollment.
* Any uncontrolled significant medical, psychiatric or surgical condition or laboratory findings that, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardise the subject's safety or that would limit compliance with the objectives and assessments of the study.
* Other known malignancies (except for fully-resected non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ) unless definitively treated and proven no evidence of recurrence for 2 years.
* Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A serum pregnancy test will be performed at the start of the study and within 48 hours prior to multiplexed PET scan for all female subjects of childbearing potential.
