The fibroblast activating protein (FAP) is expressed by some fibroblasts found in healthy tissues. However, FAP is overexpressed in more than 90% of epithelial tumors, including breast and gynecological tumors. As a result, the FAP ligand could be used as a target for diagnosis and treatment purposes. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a hybrid imaging technique commonly used to locate and assess the tumor's molecular and metabolic functions. PET imaging involves the injection of a radiotracer that tends to accumulate more in metabolically active lesions such as cancer. Several radiotracers have been developed to target FAP in PET/CT imaging, such as the fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor (FAPI). These tracers bind to FAP with high specificity and affinity, allowing for the non-invasive detection and quantification of FAP expression in tumors. In this review, we discussed the applications of FAPI PET/CT in the diagnosis and treatment of breast and the most common gynecologic malignancies. Radiolabeled FAPI can improve the detection, staging, and assessment of treatment response in breast and the most common gynecologic malignancies, but the problem with normal hormone-responsive organs remains insurmountable. Compared to the diagnostic applications of FAPI, further research is needed for future therapeutic applications.
成纤维细胞活化蛋白(FAP)在健康组织中的一些成纤维细胞中表达。然而,FAP在包括乳腺癌和妇科肿瘤在内的90%以上的上皮肿瘤中过度表达。因此,FAP配体可作为诊断和治疗的靶点。正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)是一种常用的混合成像技术,用于定位和评估肿瘤的分子和代谢功能。PET成像涉及注射一种放射性示踪剂,这种示踪剂往往在代谢活跃的病变(如癌症)中积累更多。已经开发了几种用于PET/CT成像中靶向FAP的放射性示踪剂,如成纤维细胞活化蛋白抑制剂(FAPI)。这些示踪剂以高特异性和亲和力与FAP结合,从而能够对肿瘤中FAP的表达进行无创检测和定量。在本综述中,我们讨论了FAPI PET/CT在乳腺癌和最常见妇科恶性肿瘤诊断和治疗中的应用。放射性标记的FAPI可以改善乳腺癌和最常见妇科恶性肿瘤的检测、分期以及治疗反应评估,但正常激素反应器官的问题仍然无法克服。与FAPI的诊断应用相比,未来的治疗应用还需要进一步研究。
