Q&As

How does FAP contribute to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment?

FAP can suppress the immune response by modulating the activity of certain immune cells, creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

How can FAP expression be used as a prognostic marker in cancer patients?

High levels of FAP expression in tumors have been associated with poor prognosis, making it a potential prognostic marker for certain cancers.

Are there ongoing clinical trials exploring FAP-targeted therapies?

Yes, several clinical trials are investigating the safety and efficacy of FAP-targeted therapies in various cancer types.

Can FAP be utilized as a therapeutic target beyond cancer treatment?

FAP-targeted therapies are being explored for conditions such as fibrotic diseases and rheumatoid arthritis, extending its potential clinical applications.

How is imaging technology utilized to detect FAP expression in tumors?

Molecular imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), can be employed to visualize FAP expression in tumors noninvasively.
