Abstract：Imaging assessment plays a crucial role in the follow-up of patients after radical surgery for colorectal cancer.Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor(FAPI),as an emerging radionuclide tracer,is not affected by glucose metabolism and offers a higher tumor-to-background ratio,making it more effective in detecting recurrent lesions.It is particularly advantageous in the detection of non-FDG-avid tumors,peritoneal metastases,and small lesions.This review summarizes the advances in the application of FAPI PET/CT for assessing recurrence and metastasis after radical surgery for colorectal cancer.
