The Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinical Value of FAPI PET in Pleural Mesothelioma
FAPI PET in Pleural Mesothelioma: The Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinical Value of FAPI PET at Diagnosis, Primary Staging, and the Feasibility of FAPI PET for Response Evaluation
Aalborg University Hospital
70 participants
Jan 29, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Seventy (N=70) patients with suspected pleural mesothelioma (PM) lesions referred to pleural biopsy will be recruited, and undergo an additional FAPI PET/CT at primary staging. The FAPI PET/CT results will be compared to conventional imaging (including FDG PET/CT). The diagnostic accuracy will be determined with histopathology as reference standard. For patients undergoing anticancer treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, other treatment), an additional FAPI PET/CT and an additional FDG PET/CT will be conducted after the study subjects have completed 2-3 series of anticancer treatment. The feasabilitiy of FAPI PET/CT in response evaluation will be investigated. All study specific analyzes will be blinded and will not influence the patient management / treatment.
