This study is a pilot clinical imaging trial of a prospective, head-to-head comparison of 18F-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor (FAPI)-74 PET/CT versus standard-of-care 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in 15 patients with metastatic invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC). Patients will undergo both 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT within a 2-week period (14 days + 7 days) to compare lesions, tumor detection rates, and PET lesion intensity, as well as to assess the clinical value of the PET scans from the treating physician's and the patient's perspective.

FAPI scans will be performed as hybrid PET/CT examinations for attenuation correction and lesion localization. Each patient will be injected intravenously with 7 mCi +/- 2 mCi of 18F-FAPI-74 followed by a 20-minute (+/-10 min) uptake period.
FDG PET/CT will be performed per standard-of-care protocol at Mount Sinai Hospital. Patients will fast for at least 6 hours before FDG administration and plasma glucose levels will be checked to ensure \< 200 mg/dL. Each patient will be injected intravenously with 15 mCi +/- 20% of 18F-FDG.
FAPI PET/CT images will be acquired from the top of skull to mid-thigh. FDG PET/CT images will be acquired from the skull base to mid-thigh after a 60-min uptake period. Outside FDG PET/CT performed at another institutional can be accepted, if image quality and acquisition is comparable to standard-of-care protocol at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Proportion of lesions detected by 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT
Proportion of lesions detected by 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT but not by 18F-FDG PET/CT. All lesions will be mapped across both imaging modalities to determine whether they were detected by FAPI PET/CT but not by FDG PET/CT.
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
Proportion of lesions detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT but not by 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT
All lesions will be mapped across both imaging modalities to determine whether they were detected by FDG PET/CT but not by FAPI PET/CT.
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
Proportion of concordant lesions detected by both 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT
All lesions will be mapped across both imaging modalities to determine whether they were detected by both FAPI PET/CT and FDG PET/CT (i.e., concordant detection).
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
Tumor detection rate
Tumor detection rate, defined as the proportion (%) of patients with \>1 lesion on 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
SUVmax of the hottest lesion (lesion with highest SUVmax) on 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT and mean SUVmax across all lesions
SUVmax of each lesion identified on both 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Two summary metrics will be derived per patient per modality: Hottest lesion SUVmax: Defined as the highest SUVmax value among all detected lesions per patient per modality. Overall SUVmax: model lesion-level SUVmax values
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
Tumor-to-background ratio (TBR)
Tumor-to-Background Ratio (TBR) will be defined as the SUVmax of the hottest lesion divided by the SUVmax of two background regions: the liver and the aortic blood pool.
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
Number of participants with change in therapeutic management decisions
Number of participants with change in therapeutic management decisions following review of 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT compared to decisions based on 18F-FDG PET/CT alone For each patient, an initial therapeutic management plan will be recorded based on findings from the 18F-FDG PET/CT scan alone. After the subsequent review of the 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT scan, a revised management plan will be documented, reflecting any changes informed by the additional imaging data.
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
Change in disease status assessment
Change in disease status assessment (responding, stable, progressing) by treating physicians following review of 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT compared to assessment based on 18F-FDG PET/CT alone Treating physicians will assign a disease status classification (responding, stable, or progressing) based on available clinical and imaging data from 18F-FDG PET/CT and then after reviewing the 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT scan. We will summarize the distribution of disease status before and after the FAPI scan, along with the number and percentages of patients whose disease status assessment changed following the FAPI scan, along with the specific nature of those changes.
Time frame: End of study, at 1 month
