Summary

According to statistics, in 2020, new head and neck malignancies in the world accounted for 4.9% (931931 cases) of malignant tumors in the whole body, and the new death cases were 467125, accounting for 4.7% of malignant tumors in the whole body. The high incidence rate and mortality brought great burden to the medical system. In addition, due to various types of head and neck cancer, hidden location, impact on function and quality of life, and low overall survival rate, this type of disease has seriously threatened human health and social development. The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer and laryngeal cancer is more subtle. Traditional examination methods include CT(computer tomography), MR(magnetic resonance), and laryngoscopy, but they cannot make accurate judgments on the systemic TNM(primary tumor, regional nodes, metastasis) staging of oropharyngeal cancer and laryngeal cancer. 18F-FDG(18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose) PET/CT examination can better diagnose and stage compared to traditional examination methods. However, due to the interference of more inflammatory lesions or physiological uptake in the pharynx, the false positive rate of 18F-FDG PET/CT examination is significantly increased, 18F-FAPI(18F-fibroblast activation protein inhibitors) is a novel broad-spectrum tumor imaging agent that can be specifically uptake by fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment, and has lower physiological uptake and acute inflammatory lesion uptake in the larynx. 18F-FAPI PET/CT examination can more accurately stage tumors throughout the body than 18F-FDG PET/CT examination. Combined with PET/MR local scanning, it will further improve the accuracy of T and N staging of local tumors. Therefore, It is of great significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment to effectively and reliably determine the systemic TNM staging of oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancer through non-invasive methods.

Diagnostic efficacy,SUV

The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of 18F-FDG and 18F-FAPI PET were calculated and compared to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Standardized uptake value (SUV) of 18F-FDG and 18F-FAPI for each target lesion of subject or suspected primary tumor or/and metastasis.
