Head-to-head comparison of [18F]FDG PET and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET in the diagnosis of gastric and pancreatic cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusion[68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET exhibited a higher positivity rate compared to [18F]FDG PET in the detection of primary gastric cancer, lymph node and peritoneal metastases. For pancreatic cancer, both [18F]FDG PET and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET demonstrated comparable, high positivity rates for primary cancer diagnosis and lymph node metastasis detection. There is still a requirement for more extensive and forward-looking research in this field.
