Comparison of 68Ga-FAPI-04 and 18F-FDG PET/CT for diagnosis of metastatic lesions in patients with recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the gallium-68-labeled fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in localizing papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) foci in patients with biochemical relapse. Papillary thyroid carcinoma has achieved biochemical recovery after appropriate treatment and had biochemical relapse in the last follow-up were included in this retrospective study. Gallium-68-FAPI and fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (68F-FDG) PET/CT were performed to detect recurrence foci.
Subjects and methods: Biochemically relapsed patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and were diagnosed with pathologically differentiated thyroid cancer were included in our study. Gallium-68-FAPI and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging methods were used to determine the focus of metastasis or recurrence in all patients.
Results: Among 29 patients enrolled to the study, pathological subgroups were papillary (n=26) and poorly differentiated (n=3) PTC. Anti-thyroglobulin (TG) antibody positivity were noted in 5 of the patients, while all 29 of them were TG positive and had been consist of three groups as follows: 2-10ng/mL (n=4), 11-300ng/mL (n=14), 301ng/mL and above (n=11). Recurrence was detected in 72.4% (n=21) and 86% (n=25) of the patients via 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI, respectively. Accuracy of detection noted as 100% (5/5), 75% (3/4), and 92.9% (13/14) in groups with the anti-TG antibody positivity, TG levels of 2-10ng/mL and 11-300ng/mL, respectively, when the two imaging modalities were utilized together. Furthermore, accuracy of 68Ga-FAPI was 100% (11/11) in the group with TG levels of 301ng/mL and above, whereas accuracy of 18F-FDG was 81.8% (9/11). Lastly, median maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of recurrent lesions detected by the 68Ga-FAPI (median SUVmax: 6.0) were statistically higher than the ones detected by the 18F-FDG (median SUVmax: 3.7) (P=0.002).
Conclusion: In recurrent PTC especially in case of higher TG levels, 68Ga-FAPI can be used in patients with inconclusive 18F-FDG findings.

The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
