Comparison of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in the diagnosis of lung metastasis in different malignant tumors
F-FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) is a common method for the diagnosis of malignant tumors with distant metastases. However the detection of lung metastases
especially small lesions
is still unsatisfactory.
68
Ga-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (
68
Ga-FAPI) have been used to target fibroblast activating proteins and visualize tumor stroma. The diagnostic value of
68
Ga-FAPI PET/CT is higher than that of
18
F-FDG in the primary sites and metastases of most cancers
but no comparative study has been seen in lung metastases of malignant tumors. Therefore
this study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of
18
F-FDG and
68
Ga-FAPI PET/CT in different malignant lung metastases.
Methods:
The clinical
pathological and imaging data of 20 patients with lung metastasis who underwent
18
F-FDG and
68
Ga-FAPI PET/CT examination within one week in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from May 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them
11 cases were epithelial malignant tumors (carcinoma)
and 9 cases were mesophyll malignant tumors (sarcoma). The semi-quantitative metabolic parameters inclu
ding maximum standard uptake value (SUV
max
) and target-to-background ratio (TBR) of
68
Ga-FAPI and
18
F-FDG were compared by paired t test. The linear correlation between SUV
max
and TBR and the short diameter of lung metastasis were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 81 lung metastases (51 carcinomas and 30 sarcomas) were detected in 20 patients
72 positive lesions were detected by
18
F-FDG and 70 positive lesions by
68
Ga-FAPI. Compared with
68
Ga-FAPI
18
F-FDG uptake was higher in lung metastases
especially those of carcinoma (
P
<
0.001). The results of linear correlation analysis showed that the semi-quantitative metabolic parameters of the two imaging probes were positively correlated with the short diameter of lung metastases (
P
<
0.001).
Conclusion:
68
Ga-FAPI has no obvious advantage in the detection of lung metastases from malignant tumors. Especially in the diagnosis of lung metastases from epithelial tissues
