Cover Story: Tumors develop within a complex microenvironment consisting of diverse cell types surrounded by a matrix rich of proteins, termed tumor stroma. Stroma includes immune cells, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells. Cancer cells rely on extensive support from the stroma to survive, proliferate, and invade, making stroma elements important potential targets for anticancer therapy. One of those elements is the fibroblast activation protein (FAP), which is overexpressed on activated fibroblasts on several tumors while absent in healthy tissues and nonmalignant tumors. Given the diversity of tumors that express FAP, it would be a great progress if nuclear medicine could have a diagnostic and therapeutic tool suitable for in vivo stroma tumor imaging and targeted radiotherapy.
