Diagnostic Value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT Versus 18F-FDG PET/CT in Laryngeal Cancer Staging

In this study, our results suggest that <sup>68</sup>Ga-FAPI PET/CT demonstrates superior radiotracer uptake in both primary tumors and lymph nodes, which may enhance detection sensitivity for LC staging compared with <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT. Nevertheless, further prospective studies with larger patient populations are warranted to validate these preliminary observations and determine the clinical value of this emerging imaging modality.
