New PET scan technique could reveal hidden oxygen levels in cervix tumors
NCT ID NCT01549730
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether a special PET scan can detect low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in cervix cancer tumors. Hypoxia may affect how tumors grow and respond to standard treatments like radiation and chemotherapy. About 30 adults with cervix cancer will receive the PET tracer FAZA before starting their usual treatment. The goal is to see if this imaging method is simpler and better than older techniques.
