Dipika Kakar Undergoes New FAPI Scan, Awaits Test Results in Ongoing Liver Cancer Care

She reports fresh FAPI imaging and bloodwork this week to guide ongoing two-year targeted therapy.

Overview

  • Surgeons removed roughly 22% of her liver, including an approximately 11-centimeter tumor, in June.
  • Her previous FAPI scan showed no cancer detected elsewhere, according to her account.
  • She remains on oral targeted therapy for about two years with routine scans and blood and tumor-marker tests.
  • Shoaib Ibrahim said they submitted blood samples on November 4 and are waiting for the reports, promising an update.
  • Doctors have not identified a cause for the tumor, which was first investigated after gallbladder pain and a CT that also found gallstones and a 9-centimeter mass.
