Comparison between FAPI-X PET/CT and [18F]FDG PET/CT evidence for each clinical application in sarcomas
| Sarcomas | ||
|---|---|---|
| Application | FAPI-X | [18F]FDG |
| Degree of Radiopharmaceutical Uptake | Higher uptake in low-grade sarcomas (10.4 ± 8.5, p = 0.01) [87] | Lower uptake in low-grade sarcomas (7.0 ± 4.5, p = 0.01) [87] |
| Radiopharmaceutical therapy |
Promising results [90Y]-FAPI-46 and [177Lu]Lu-FAPI-2286 Safety treatment with low adverse effects (mainly laboratory findings) [88, 89] |
