Abstract

Background: 68Ga-labled fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) represents a new and exciting positron emission tomography-computed tomography/magnetic resonance (PET-CT/MR) radiotracer.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT in metastatic lesions of gynecological cancers (GCs).

Material and methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were thoroughly investigated from inception until 22 December 2023. A head-to-head contrast between 18F-FDG PET/CT as well as 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR for the assessment of GCs was presented by the included studies. A random variable model was employed to examine the sensitivity in detection of lymph node (LN) and peritoneal metastases (PM).

Results: The pooled sensitivity for 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR and 18F-FDG PET/CT in lymph node metastases (LNM) of GC were 0.98 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86-1) and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.65-0.98), respectively, while the results about peritoneal metastases in ovarian cancer were 0.98 (95% CI = 0.93-1) and 0.71 (95% CI = 0.55-0.86). Compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT, 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR exhibited a better sensitivity in peritoneal involvement of ovarian cancer with a relative risk of 0.24 (95% CI = 0.09-0.40) and P = 0.002.

Conclusion: 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR displayed a superior sensitivity over 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting metastatic lesions of ovarian cancer. However, there was insufficient evidence to favor the superiority of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in LNM of CC. Further studies are needed for evaluating primary and metastatic lesions of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in different GC.

目的：比较68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR和18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖（18F-FDG）PET/CT对妇科癌症（GCs）转移病灶的诊断效果：对PubMed、Embase和Web of Science数据库从开始到2023年12月22日的数据进行了全面调查。纳入的研究对 18F-FDG PET/CT 和 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR 评估 GCs 进行了头对头对比。结果显示，68Ga-FAPI正电子发射计算机断层扫描/MR对淋巴结转移和腹膜转移的敏感性高于18F-FDG正电子发射计算机断层扫描/CT：结果：68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR和18F-FDG PET/CT对GC淋巴结转移（LNM）的汇总灵敏度分别为0.98（95%置信区间[CI] = 0.86-1）和0.85（95% CI = 0.65-0.98），而对卵巢癌腹膜转移的灵敏度分别为0.98（95% CI = 0.93-1）和0.71（95% CI = 0.55-0.86）。结论：与 18F-FDG PET/CT 相比，68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR 对卵巢癌腹膜受累的敏感性更高，相对风险为 0.24（95% CI = 0.09-0.40），P = 0.002。然而，没有足够的证据表明68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR在CC的LNM中更具优势。还需要进一步的研究来评估68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR在不同GC中的原发病灶和转移病灶。
