Assessing Hypoxia by 18F-EF5 PET Scanning and Glycolysis by 18FFDG PET Scanning in Subjects With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying fluorine F18-EF5 and fludeoxyglucose F18 positron
emission tomography in assessing hypoxia and glycolysis in patients with stage I, stage II,
or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.Detailed DescriptionOBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether there is an association between Akt activation and hypoxia as
determine by 18F-EF5 PET scanning in patients with NSCLC.
II. To determine whether there is an association between Akt activation and increased
glycolysis as determined by 18F-FDG PET imaging in patients with NSCLC.
OUTLINE: Within 6 weeks prior to surgery, patients undergo fluorine F18 (18F)-EF5 PET at 10
minutes and 90 minutes after injection of 18F-EF5. Patients also undergo fludeoxyglucose F18
(18F-FDG) PET at 1 hour and 3 hours after injection of 18FFDG.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.
