Fibroblast-Activated Protein Inhibitor PET/CT: Cancer Diagnosis and Management
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP), overexpressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), is a novel target for molecular imaging of various tumors. Recently, the development of several small-molecule FAP inhibitors for radiolabeling with 68Ga has resulted in the emergence of studies evaluating it...
