Purpose: 68Ga-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) is a novel PET tracer with great potential for staging pancreatic cancer. Data on locally advanced or recurrent disease is sparse, especially on tracer uptake before and after high dose chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The aim of this study was to evaluate [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT staging in this setting. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with locally recurrent or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LRPAC n = 15, LAPAC n = 12) in stable disease or partial remission after chemotherapy underwent FAPI PET/CT and received consolidation CRT in stage M0 with follow-up FAPI PET/CT every three months until systemic progression. Quantitative PET parameters SUVmax, SUVmean, FAPI-derived tumor volume and total lesion FAPI-uptake were measured in baseline and follow-up PET/CT scans. Contrast-enhanced CT (ceCT) and PET/CT data were evaluated blinded and staged according to TNM classification. Results: FAPI PET/CT modified staging compared to ceCT alone in 23 of 27 patients in baseline, resulting in major treatment alterations in 52% of all patients (30%: target volume adjustment due to N downstaging, 15%: switch to palliative systemic chemotherapy only due to diffuse metastases, 7%: abortion of radiotherapy due to other reasons). Regarding follow-up scans, major treatment alterations after performing FAPI PET/CT were noted in eleven of 24 follow-up scans (46%) with switch to systemic chemotherapy or best supportive care due to M upstaging and ablative radiotherapy of distant lymph node and oligometastasis. Unexpectedly, in more than 90 % of the follow-up scans, radiotherapy did not induce local fibrosis related FAPI uptake. During the first follow-up, all quantitative PET metrics decreased, and irradiated lesions showed significantly lower FAPI uptake in locally controlled disease (SUVmax p = 0.047, SUVmean p = 0.0092) compared to local failure. Conclusion: Compared to ceCT, FAPI PET/CT led to major therapeutic alterations in patients with LRPAC and LAPAC prior to and after radiotherapy, which might help identify patients benefiting from adjustments in every treatment stage. FAPI PET/CT should be considered a useful diagnostic tool in LRPAC or LAPAC before and after CRT.
