Comprehensive Evaluation of Tumor Oxygenation, Metabolism and Blood Supply of High Grade Glioma and Cervical Cancers Using Dynamic FAZA PET and Multiparametric MR

Description:

Primary Objectives To investigate the relationship between dynamic MRI, brain tumor perfusion (DSC) and permeability (DCE), and dynamic 18F-FAZA PET uptake. Secondary Objectives To investigate the relationship between tumors with greater hypoxia defined by qBOLD and 18F-FAZA PET and pathological features including proportionate necrosis, Ki-67 and IDH mutation status To investigate the correlation between the hypoxic tumor region delineated using 18F-FAZA PET and qBOLD

Isotope(s):
Target(s):
  • Hypoxia
Ligand Class: Small Molecules
Inclusion
  • Receiving surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy
Exclusion
  • Prior nephrectomy or planned nephrectomy.
  • Patients with a body weight of 400 pounds or more, or a BMI which precludes their entry into the bore of the PET-MRI scanner, because the findings will probably be compromised in image quality with PET-MRI and MRI.
