PET tracer shows promise in prostate cancer patients
By Will Morton
Gallium-68 RM2-PET/MRI is better than MRI alone for detecting relapse in prostate cancer patients, according to research presented at RSNA 2023.

FAPI-PET shows promise for detecting pancreatic cancer
By Will Morton
FAPI-PET imaging may become a powerful diagnostic tool for detecting pancreatic cancer.
November 20, 2023
A male patient with suspected recurrent pancreatic cancer. Contrast-enhanced CT shows mass around superior mesenteric artery after pancreatectomy. F-18 FDG only shows discrete uptake of lesion (SUVmax, 3.8), whereas Ga-68 FAPI clearly visualizes recurrent tumor. Patient received adjuvant chemotherapy after Ga-68 FAPI. Patient denied recommended chemotherapy. Increase of CA19-9 levels (from 240 U/mL to 767 U/mL) and follow-up imaging eight months later validated progression of mesenteric mass as well as increased F-18 FDG uptake (SUVmax, 5.3).
