Prognostic Value of Tumor Hypoxia, as Measured by 18F-FMISO Breath Hold PET/CT, in Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients
Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC) focused on measuring PET/CT, 18F-FMISO, tumor hypoxia, 13-186

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
18F-FMISO PET/CT
All enrolled patients will undergo a baseline 18F-FDG PET scan as part of their standard clinical treatment for NSCLC. Dynamic 18F-FMISO PET scans will be performed on one of the GE PET/CT scanners in 3D mode, at least one day after the baseline 18F-FDG PET scan. The dynamic baseline 18F-FMISO studies may precede the 18F-FDG study if the patient had a CT or PET/CT scan within the last 30 days that would permit the investigators to localize the tumor of interest during the 18F-FMISO study. In a group of 5 patients, the feasibility of simultaneous imaging of 18F-FMISO and 18F-FDG will be assessed. The patient will have an IV line placed for radiotracer injection and for venous blood sampling. All dynamic PET scans will be performed over one PET FOV centered at the lesion position. The 18F-FDG mid-treatment PET/CT scan will be performed over only one bed position.
