Abstract:Background
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) has gained attention as a promising molecular target with potential utility for cancer diagnosis and therapy. 68Ga-labeled FAP-targeting peptides have been successfully applied to positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of various tumor types. To meet the applicable demand for peptide-based FAP tracers with high patient throughput, we herein report the radiosynthesis, preclinical evaluation, and the first-in-human imaging of a novel 18F-labeled FAP-targeting pe… Show more
