Brief Summary:
The extent of breast cancer is an important prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with this disease. Therefore, adequate staging at diagnosis is a requisite for optimal treatment. In all patients diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC), distant staging using 18F-FDG PET/CT is recommended. However, the degree of metabolic uptake in the primary breast tumor is significantly lower in the ER+ subtype compared to HER2+ and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). As a consequence, a suboptimal 18F-FDG uptake in ER+ breast cancer patients can potentially lead to missed distant metastases. Fibroblast-activating protein inhibitor (FAPI) is a recently developed radiotracer that binds to FAP, a stromal antigen overexpressed in more than 90% of epithelial-derived tumors and their metastases. Previous studies all show 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT to have a higher detection rate compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT. However, all previous studies were performed without considering breast cancer subtype. If the metabolic uptake by 68Ga-FAPI-46 is higher in ER+ breast cancer patients, more lesions will be detected, resulting in a more appropriate treatment for these patients. Therefore, in this pilot study, the investigators aim to compare the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG with 68Ga-FAPI-46 as PET-tracer in ER+ breast cancer patients.
