Head-to-head comparison of ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of primary digestive system cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Althoug ¹⁸F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely accepted as a diagnostic tool for detecting digestive cancers, ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT may perform better in detecting gastrointestinal malignancies at an earlier stage. This study aimed to systematically review the diagnostic performance of ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT compared with that of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in primary digestive system cancers.

Methods

In this study, a comprehensive search using the PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases was performed to identify studies that met the eligibility criteria from the beginning of the databases to March 2023. The quality of the relevant studies with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studi
