Summary

FAPI PET/CT molecular imaging represents a cutting-edge advancement in oncological imaging, particularly for the preoperative assessment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPIs), which are the focus of this imaging modality, selectively target cancer-associated fibroblasts, a critical component of the tumor microenvironment. FAPI PET/CT could be useful in the detection of HGP (Histological Growth Pattern) and in the changes during neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery
