Published in Oncology Business Week, November 1st, 2009
Researchers detail in 'Initial results of hypoxia imaging using 1-alpha-D: -(5-deoxy-5-[18F]-fluoroarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole ( 18F-FAZA),' new data in small cell lung cancer. "Tumour hypoxia is thought to play a significant role in the outcome of solid tumor therapy. Positron emission tomography (PET) is the best-validated noninvasive technique able to demonstrate the presence of hypoxia in vivo," scientists in Canada report.
"The locally developed PET tracer for imaging hypoxia, 1-alpha-D: -(5-deoxy-5-[(18)F]-fluoroarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole ((18)F-FAZA), has been shown to accumulate in experimental models of tumor hypoxia and to clear rapidly from the...
