[18F]-HX4 PET/CT hypoxia in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated with chemoradiotherapy: Prognostic results from two prospective trials

Introduction: The presence of hypoxia in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma is a negative prognostic factor. PET imaging with [18F] HX4 can be used to visualize hypoxia, but it is currently unknown how this correlates with prognosis. We investigated the prognostic value of [18F] HX4 PET imaging i...
