Evolution of the hypoxic compartment on sequential oxygen partial pressure maps during radiochemotherapy in advanced head and neck cancer

Evolution of the hypoxic compartment on sequential oxygen partial pressure maps during radiochemotherapy in advanced head and neck cancer

Background and purpose: Longitudinal Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with hypoxia-specific radiotracers allows monitoring the time evolution of regions of increased radioresistance and may become fundamental in determining the radiochemotherapy outcome in Head-and-Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HN...
