Abstract
In recent years, targeting cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) for efficient therapy approaches has been evaluated. The fibroblast-activating protein (FAP) has received special attention within nuclear medicine approaches due to the development of a successful radiolabeled FAP-inhibitor. This short chapter reviews briefly the background of this approach and gives some insight into potential theranostic applications of the newly developed FAPI ligands.
