Imaging of hypoxia with ¹⁸<scp>F</scp>‐<scp>FAZA PET</scp> in patients with locally advanced non‐small cell lung cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy

Abstract

Intra-lesional hypoxia, as detected by (18) F-FAZA PET, was present in 65% of patients with locally-advanced NSCLC and resolved in the majority of patients following chemoradiation. Larger studies are required to evaluate the prognostic significance of the presence and resolution of hypoxia assessed by PET in NSCLC.
