New scan could reveal hidden weakness in lung cancer

NCT ID NCT02701699

Summary

This study is testing a special type of PET scan to find areas of low oxygen inside lung cancer tumors. Low oxygen can make tumors harder to treat with radiation or chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if this scan can reliably provide this information to help guide future treatment planning. Participants will get one scan before starting their radiation treatment.
