Fluorine-18 fluoromisonidazole tumour to muscle retention ratio for the detection of hypoxia in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract: In vivo demonstration of hypoxia is of significance for tumour patient management. Fluorine-18 fluoromisonidazole ([18F]FMISO) is a proven hypoxic imaging agent. We developed an [18F]FMISO tumour to muscle retention ratio (TMRR) for the detection of tumour hypoxia in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Data were acquired by positron emission tomography (PET) of the nasopharynx and neck after intravenous injection of 370 MBq of [18F]FMISO. Two imaging protocols were adopted: a long protocol for comprehensive dynami… Show more

“…Each tumor may have its own cutoff threshold because blood supply, location, and extent of necrosis vary from tumor to tumor. For example, 1.2 is a cutoff value for head and neck cancer and soft-tissue sarcomas (18,27,28), 1.24 is a cutoff value for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (29), and 1.4 is the cutoff for NSCLC because the unique structure of the lung parenchyma, including its dual blood supply and abundant oxygen-containing air space, may play a role in NSCLC's being less hypoxic than other tumor types (30,31). In our study, 16 patients with 33 lesions underwent hypoxia detection at baseline, which was then used to predict endocrine therapy outcome.…”

“…The minimum 2-hour time delay between injection and imaging is needed to allow tracer accumulation in hypoxic tissue and to ensure the development of sufficient contrast in activity between normal and hypoxic tissue. [15][16][17] The time of tracer injection was used to calculate the interval from stroke onset to PET study.…”
