- Abstract
FAPI PET/CT is a novel imaging tool targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP), with high tumor uptake rate and low background noise. Therefore, the appearance of FAPI PET/CT provides a good tumor-to-background ratio between tumor and non-tumor tissues, which is beneficial to staging, tumor description and detection. Colorectal cancer has the biological characteristics of high expression of FAP, which provides the foundation for targeted FAP imaging. FAPI PET/CT may have a potential role in changing the staging and re-staging of colorectal cancer, monitoring recurrence and treatment management, and improving the prognosis of patients. This review will summarize the application status of FAPI PET/CT in colorectal cancer and provide directions for further application research.
