FAP FAP FAP (fibroblast activation protein) sits on the cancer-associated fibroblasts that scaffold more than 90% of epithelial cancers and is almost absent from normal adult tissue. FAPI PET tracers therefore light up tumours with high contrast, including pancreatic, gastric and low-grade cancers where FDG PET is weak, and FAP-targeted radioligands are in development. | Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, Gastric & gastro-oesophageal junction cancer, Triple-negative breast cancer | none | pet-target, stroma | ||
GRPR (gastrin-releasing peptide receptor) GRPR GRPR is a hormone receptor abundant in early and hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, imaged and treated with bombesin-like radioligands. | Prostate cancer, HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer | none | none | ||
PSMA FOLH1 A protein on prostate cancer cells that lets doctors both see the cancer on a PET scan and hit it with a radioactive drug. | Prostate cancer | none | pet-target | ||
Somatostatin receptor 2 SSTR2 Somatostatin receptor 2 is a hormone receptor densely present on neuroendocrine tumours, and was the first theranostic target to reach routine care. | Neuroendocrine tumours, Small-cell lung cancer | none | none |
