Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SurgicalGroup (a) [Those to undergo surgical excision or biopsy] patients will receive RGD-K5 scan within two weeks of conventional image evaluations. The image result will be confirmed with histopathological results.
Chemotherapy concurrent RadiationGroup (b) patients [Those with N2c-3M0 disease to receive chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy] will receive RGD-K5 scan prior to beginning of the therapy, after induction chemotherapy, within two weeks after concurrent chemoradiotherapy and two months after completion of concurrent chemoradiotherpy; all within two weeks of conventional image evaluations.
RGD-K5 scanGroup (c) patients [Those with M1 disease to receive biotherapy or chemotherapy] will receive RGD-K5 scan prior to the beginning of the first line systemic therapy, two weeks after beginning of the first line systemic therapy, within two weeks of first response evaluation for the first line systemic therapy, and within two weeks after end of the first line systemic therapy; each RGD-K5 scan would be performed within two weeks of conventional image studies. The systemic therapy might be biotherapy or chemotherapy.
