PG - 606-16 LID - 10.1007/s11307-015-0926-5 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to characterize imaging biomarkers for the potential benefit of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1)alpha inhibition (by PX-12) during 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). PROCEDURES: Therapy response to 5-FU +/- PX-12 was assessed with baseline [(18)F]fluoromisonidazole ([(18)F]FMISO) and longitudinal 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose ([(18)F]FDG) positron emission computed tomography (muPET/CT) in CRC xenograft model (n = 36) during breathing of a hypoxic (10 % O2) or normoxic (21 % O2) atmosphere. Ex vivo, immunohistochemistry was performed. RESULTS: Baseline [(18)F]FMISO uptake and relative tumor volume (RTV) 2 days after 5-FU or 5-FU + PX-12 administration correlated significantly (p
