PET imaging with 68Ga-FAPI has shown to be more effective in detecting and staging pancreatic cancer compared to other imaging techniques, according to a study published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The study found that 68Ga-FAPI detected more pancreatic tumors on various bases and led to changes in clinical management of patients. The research also suggests that 68Ga-FAPI imaging can pave the way for targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies in the future. Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed in advanced stages and has a poor survival rate, highlighting the need for earlier and more precise detection methods.
