Trial Information

18F-FMISO-PET, 18F-FDG-PET/CT, DWI-MRI and DCE-MRI Scans as Predictors of Response to Radiotherapy +/- Chemotherapy in Patients With Anal Cancer.


The study involves tree MRI sessions, two FDG-PET-CT sessions and one FMISO-PET session. The
FMISO-PET session is presently not carried out because of delivery problems. The production
of 18F-fluoromisonidazol at The Department of Clinical Physiology and Nuclear Medicine,
Copenhagen University Hospital Herlev, Denmark has not jet been approved by the Danish
Medicines Agency.
