Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which constitute a major proportion of cells within the tumor microenvironment, especially in breast cancer. 68Ga-FAPI has been developed as a tumor-targeting agent. This prospective study is going to investigate the performance and value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in patients with breast cancer.
