FAPI-PET shows promise for detecting pancreatic cancer
In this study, the researchers analyzed data on 62 patients with suspected pancreatic cancer. In addition to Ga-68 FAPI-PET imaging, all patients also underwent contrast-enhanced CT, and 38 underwent F-18 FDG-PET. The primary endpoint was the association between Ga-FAPI-PET radiotracer maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and histopathologic FAP expression, while secondary endpoints included comparisons to standard imaging.A male patient with suspected recurrent pancreatic cancer. Contrast-enhanced CT shows mass around superior mesenteric artery after pancreatectomy. F-18 FDG only shows discrete uptake of lesion (SU...
