abstract = {In the last decade, fibroblast activation protein-α
inhibitors (FAPIs), which target the cancer-associated
fibroblasts of the tumour microenvironment, have become a
topic of great interest. In oncology, FAPI PET/CT imaging
has repeatedly demonstrated a higher lesion detection rate
than other conventional imaging modalities such as CT or
18F-FDG PET/CT for several tumours. In some cases, the
initial staging and therapeutic management may even change.
Some FAPI radioligands may also be labelled with therapeutic
radionuclides for theranostic applications. It is thus
possible to treat certain metastatic cancers with FAPI
radioligand therapy (FAPI-RLT), which is generally well
tolerated with little toxicity. Recently, new FAPIs have
been developed with the particularity of having a higher
binding affinity the target, which further improves the
lesion detection rate on PET/CT and clinical outcomes
following FAPI-RLT. This review provides recent updates in
the clinical use of FAPI PET/CT and FAPI-RLT, and discusses
potential emergent applications, including in inflammation
imaging.},
