68Ga-FAPI (fibroblast activation protein-specific inhibitor) PET/CT was performed in a 56-year-old man with multiple liver masses, which were confirmed grade 2 well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors with liver Tru-Cut biopsy. With 68Ga-DOTATE PET/CT, primary tumor in the pancreas, multiple metastases in the liver and metastatic portocaval lymph node were detected. ABT-199 In 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT imaging performed for comparison, it was seen that metastatic lesions in the liver were distinguished much better because of low background activity, and the primary tumor and metastatic lymph node were clearly selected. This case suggested that FAPI-bounded radionuclides may be useful in the evaluation and targeted therapy of neuroendocrine tumors.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell membrane-bound serine peptidase, overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts and activated fibroblasts at wound healing/inflammatory sites. Recently, molecular PET/CT imaging with radiolabeled FAP inhibitor (FAPI) has been evaluated in different diseases. We aimed to assess its potential role based on the available literature.

We conducted a comprehensive review of the available preclinical and clinical data on FAPI PET/CT in an attempt to summarize its current status and potential future role. Based on that, we have discussed the pathophysiology behind FAP-based imaging, followed by a discussion of FAPI radiopharmaceuticals including their synthesis, biodistribution, and dosimetry. Next, we have discussed studies evaluating FAPI PET/CT in different oncological and nononcological pathologies. The potential of FAPI PET/CT in theranostics has also been addressed.

Based on the early scientific evidence available, including preclinical and clinical studies, FAPI PET/CT seems to be a promising molecular imaging tool, especially in oncology. It can be used for imaging different types of cancers and outperforms 18F-FDG PET/CT in some of these. Its potential as a theranostic tool warrants special attention.

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor PET/CT has the potential to emerge as a powerful molecular imaging tool in the future. However, as of yet, the available evidence is limited, warranting further research and trials in this field.

The physiological uptake of 68Ga-FAPI-04 due to the change of the internal environment is little known. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman who was highly suspected to have advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT was performed for evaluating the disease. Both PET and CT with different tracers detected the primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma and metastases in right neck lymph nodes, liver, and bones. To our surprise, intense diffuse uptake of 68Ga-FAPI-04 was found in both breasts, which might be due to the hormone stimulation because the patient received 68Ga-FAPi-04 PET/CT just at the period of ovulation.

The aim of this study was to correlate prognostically relevant immunohistochemical parameters of breast cancer with simultaneously acquired SUVs and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values derived from hybrid breast PET/MRI.

Fifty-six women with newly diagnosed, therapy-naive, histologically proven breast cancer (mean age, 54.1 ± 12.0 years) underwent dedicated prone 18F-FDG breast PET/MRI. Diffusion-weighted imaging (b-values 0, 500, 1000 s/mm2) was performed simultaneously with the PET acquisition. A region of interest encompassing the entire primary tumor on each patient's PET/MRI scan was used to determine the glucose metabolism represented by maximum and mean SUV as well as into corresponding ADC maps to assess tumor cellularity represented by mean and minimum ADC values. Histopathological tumor grading and prognostically relevant immunohistochemical markers, that is, Ki67, progesterone receptor, estrogen receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), were assessed. Pearson correlestrogen and HER2 expression, as well as molecular subtype of breast cancer primaries. Hence, simultaneous 18F-FDG PET and diffusion-weighted imaging from hybrid breast PET/MRI may serve as a predictive tool for identifying high-risk breast cancer patients in initial staging and guide-targeted therapy.
The present data show a correlation between increased glucose metabolism, cellularity, tumor grading, estrogen and HER2 expression, as well as molecular subtype of breast cancer primaries.
