New imaging technique sheds light on oxygen in sarcomas
NCT ID NCT03418818
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study uses a special PET scan with a tracer called FAZA, combined with MRI, to measure oxygen levels (hypoxia) in soft tissue sarcoma tumors. About 70 adults with high-risk sarcoma will get the scan before treatment or surgery. The goal is to learn more about tumor biology, not to treat the disease. A small number of patients will also receive a drug called pimonidazole before surgery to further study oxygen levels.
