New imaging technique aims to spot hidden oxygen shortage in lung tumors
NCT ID NCT02701699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a special PET scan using a tracer called FAZA can detect low oxygen (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 get one FAZA PET scan before starting radiotherapy to see if this imaging method works well.
