Ideas in this flowchart

  • FAPI PET clarity guides treatment planning
  • The clarified findings directly inform treatment decisions
  • They also help determine surgical candidacy
  • FAPI PET confirms the true extent of hepatic involvement before a procedure
  • The difference between three visible lesions and five is clinically significant
  • Treatment pathways include ablation alone, TACE, or a combined approach
  • The same assessment logic extends to the peritoneum
  • FAPI's low background uptake in the abdomen helps resolve ambiguous findings
  • These findings can remain ambiguous on CT
  • The results inform the HIPEC or PIPAC eligibility discussion

Colorectal Cancer: Full Treatment Guideline

"That clarity feeds directly into decisions about TACE, thermal ablation, and surgical candidacy. FAPI PET for colorectal cancer metastases can confirm the true extent of hepatic involvement before a procedure is planned — and the gap between three visible lesions and five isn't a rounding error. It's the difference between ablation alone, TACE, or a combined approach. The same logic extends to the peritoneum, where FAPI's low background uptake in the abdomen can resolve findings that CT leaves ambiguous, informing the HIPEC or PIPAC eligibility discussion that follows."
