Abstract

A 69-year-old man presented with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer was enrolled in our clinical trial of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT study in tumors. Increased tracer uptake was noted in esophageal cancer. In addition, the facet joint osteoarthritis of T7/8 vertebrae also revealed elevated 68Ga-FAPI uptake.
