Diagnostic Performances of Radiolabeled FAPI PET/CT for Lymph Node Staging in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: Comparison With 18F-FDG PET/CT
Radiolabeled FAPI showed a good diagnostic performance for the detection of metastatic LN in HNC patients. Also, 18 F-FDG PET/CT revealed low specificity for LN staging in HNC patients. Future large multicenter research with more patients would be necessary to provide a more comprehensive overview of the usefulness of radiolabeled FAPI for LN staging in HNC patients.
