Clinical Application of 68Ga-FAPI PET Imaging in Detection of Ovarian Cancer Recurrence
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective study to investigate the potential efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for recurrence detection of epithelial ovarian cancer in comparison with 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Detailed Description
Gallium 68-labeled fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) has recently been a potential radiotracer for gynecological malignancies,including ovarian cancer. Early detection and localization of sites of recurrence helps to identify ovarian cancer patients who will benefit the most from secondary surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Its clinical utility for recurrence detection of epithelial ovarian cancer and histological validation of FAPI findings is not well established.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Diagnostic Performance [1 year]
Sensitivity and Specificity of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for recurrence in comparison with 18F-FDG PET/CT
- Maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax) [1 year]
Measurement of the maximum standardized uptake value of the lesion
- Tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) [1 year]
TBR was calculated according to the formula:TBR=SUVmax of lesion/SUVmax of background
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation between FAPI expression and SUV in PET [1 year]
Correlation between 68Ga-FAPI PET uptake intensity and histopathologic FAP expression. Validation via immunohistochemical FAP staining of pathological specimen
