Abstract

Rationale and objectives: The objective of this research is to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis to detect the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Computed Tomography/Magnetic Resonance (CT/MR) in total of the lesions as well as different aspects of metastasis in individuals with ovarian cancers (OC).

Materials and methods: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of Science databases were thoroughly searched until the cut-off date of July 23, 2024. The assessment of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR of OC was presented by the included studies. Bivariate random effects models were utilized to compute the sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in OC. The I-square index (I²) was utilized to measure heterogeneity and sensitivity analysis were employed to test it.

Results: The pooled sensitivity as well as specificity for 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in OC were 0.90 (95% CI: 0.84-0.95) as well as 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91-0.97), correspondingly. In the subanalysis for metastatic lesions (lymph node [LN] metastases and peritoneal involvement), the pooled sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR were 0.94 (95% CI: 0.74-0.99) and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.84-0.99) for identifying metastatic LNs as well as 0.93 (95% CI: 0.81-0.97) and 0.96 (95% CI: 0.89-0.99) about peritoneal carcinomatosis evaluation, correspondingly. In the head-to-head comparison with 18F-FDG PET/CT, 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR exhibited a better sensitivity in identifying peritoneal metastases (P=.0004).

Conclusion: 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR displayed a high overall diagnostic effectiveness in OC. When evaluating metastatic peritoneal lesions of OC, 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR displayed a superior pooled sensitivity.
