Summary
This study tested whether a special PET scan (18F-FMISO) can measure low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in head and neck tumors. Sixteen adults with head and neck cancer received the scan before starting radiation therapy. Researchers then checked if the scan results matched treatment outcomes two years later. The goal was to see if this imaging method could help doctors plan better, more personalized radiation treatments.
