Cancer of the Head and Neck Clinical Trial
Official title:
DAHANCA 24: Prognostic Value of 18F-FAZA Positron Emission Tomography After Primary Curative Radiotherapy for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
Solid tumours contain varying degrees of hypoxia. Studies show hypoxia to be associated with
poor local control and survival, as hypoxia is a cause of resistance to radio- and
chemotherapy and the development of a more aggressive tumour.
Previous attempts to measure hypoxia have been biased because the techniques have been
invasive, not repeatable or difficult to apply on a routine basis. There is great interest
in trying to measure hypoxia in tumours as this could lead to individualized
hypoxia-modifying therapy and prediction of treatment response. Additionally the
investigators' knowledge of change in hypoxia over time is limited, but of great interest as
individualised treatment, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is emerging.
18F-FAZA, appears promising. It is a nitroimidazole, which gets trapped in hypoxic cells and
can be detected by a positron emission therapy (PET) scan. Compared to other
nitroimidazoles, 18F-FAZA has superior biokinetics and thereby is believed to provide a
faster and clearer image of hypoxia.
The investigators' hypothesis is that 18F-FAZA can be used as a prognostic marker in HNSCC.
