Brief Summary:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis if not caught early enough. One of the factors that may impact the ability to control NSCLC is low oxygen levels (hypoxia) inside the tumour. This study will use 18F-FAZA PET scans to assess whether patients have hypoxic tumours and to monitor the changes to the hypoxic areas of a tumour during currently available standard treatment. It is hypothesized that 18F-FAZA PET may predict response to treatment, local control, and/or survival in NSCLC.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Lung Neoplasm Cell Hypoxia Other: 18F-FAZA Other: 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)

Detailed Description:
Locally advanced NSCLC has a poor prognosis with a 5 year overall survival rate of only 15%. Tumour hypoxia may impact the ability to control NSCLC. Using 18F-FAZA PET, this study will assess patients for hypoxic treatment. With this information, we can start individualizing patient treatment to target hypoxia. The relationship between areas of hypoxia (18F-FAZA) and high glucose utilization (18F-FDG) will also be assessed.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To determine the relationship between hypoxic changes and the early local tumour response after definitive radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in NSCLC [ Time Frame: 2.5 yrs ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To establish if a correlation exists between 18F-FAZA PET and FluGlucoScan Injection PET in determining responses to definitive treatment in NSCLC [ Time Frame: 2.5 yrs ]
  2. To assess if patterns of local failure/overall survival correlate with 18F-FAZA PET and/or FluGlucoScan Injection PET [ Time Frame: 7 yrs ]
