Positron emission tomography and computed tomography with [68Ga]Ga-fibroblast activation protein inhibitors improves tumor detection and staging in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Compared with [18F]FDG PET/CT, [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET/CT shows higher sensitivity in detecting primary pancreatic tumors, involved lymph nodes, and metastases and is superior in terms of TNM staging. Prospective trials with larger patient population are needed to evaluate whether [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET/CT could elicit treatment modification in pancreatic cancer when compared with standard of care imaging.
