Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide.1 Approximately 25%–50% of individuals with CRC will eventually develop locoregional recurrences or distant metastases2,3 depending on the primary tumor location and cancer stage.4 The liver is the most common site for CRC dissemination.2,5 Excessive liver fat accumulation, prevalent in ∼25% of the general population,6 has been proposed as determinant of colorectal liver metastases and survival,7-12 although findings are...

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, Aug 2023 Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) detected by positron-emission tomography (PET) using fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) appears to be a promising target for cancer imaging, staging, and therapy, providing added value and strength as a complement to [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in cancer imaging. We recently introduced a combined single-session/dual-tracer protocol with [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI for cancer imaging and staging.
