Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Prognostic Value of Tumor Hypoxia, as Measured by 18F-FMISO Breath Hold PET/CT, in Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients
The purpose of this study is to help researchers investigate if a new imaging agent named 18F-FMISO can predict if patients with lung cancer will respond to standard therapy, as well as whether disease will reoccur in the future.
