Summary

This study looked at 16 people with a type of throat cancer (squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx) to see how well PET and MRI scans can measure low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in tumors. Participants had both scans before surgery, and researchers compared the images with lab tests of the removed tumor tissue. The goal was to learn more about how hypoxia affects cancer and whether these scans can help guide treatment in the future.
