FAPI-PET/CT outperforms FDG-PET/CT in women with invasive breast cancer
By Will Morton
PET/CT imaging using gallium-68 FAPI radiotracer over F-18 FDG appears promising in women with invasive lobular carcinoma.

Maximum-intensity projection F-18 FDG-PET (left) and Ga-68 FAPI-PET (right) images of synchronous ILC. (A) A 42-year-old patient with multicentric primary lesions (encircled), regional (solid arrows), and distant inferior jugular lymph node (dashed arrows) seen on F-18 FDG-PET and subsequently confirmed on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also revealed additional malignant foci aligned with MRI. Some lesions exhibited high activity retention on Ga-68 FAPI-PET. (B) A 53-year-old patient showing no significant uptake on F-18 FDG-PET but synchronous bilateral lesions (arrows) on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also identified pathologic lymph nodes (encircled), resulting in upstaging.

Images taken from a 40-year-old woman with calcifications detected on baseline screening mammography show (A) lateral and (B) craniocaudal magnification views for grouped pleomorphic calcifications in right breast (circles). Stereotac-tic-guided core-needle biopsy yielded radial scar without atypia. Subsequent surgical resection yielded radial scar (i.e., not upstaged). Image courtesy of ARRS.
