New imaging technique could reveal hidden tumor oxygen levels
NCT ID NCT02701699
First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a PET scan using a special tracer called FAZA can detect low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in lung cancer tumors. Hypoxia can affect how tumors grow and respond to treatments like radiation. About 36 adults with stage II or III lung cancer will receive one FAZA PET scan before starting radiotherapy. The goal is to see if this imaging method provides useful information about tumor hypoxia.
