Radiopharmaceuticals targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP) have rapidly emerged as innovative agents for cancer imaging and therapy. By selectively binding to cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), radiolabeled FAP inhibitors (FAPIs) enable high-contrast PET/CT imaging across diverse tumor types. This article highlights recent advances in FAPI PET/CT imaging, with particular focus on the influence of multivalency effect in radiotracer development.
靶向成纤维细胞活化蛋白(FAP)的放射性药物已迅速成为癌症成像和治疗的创新药物。通过选择性地与癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAF)结合,放射性标记的FAP抑制剂(FAPI)能够对多种肿瘤类型进行高对比度PET/CT成像。本文重点介绍了FAPI PET/CT成像的最新进展,特别关注多价效应在放射性示踪剂开发中的影响。
