LID - 10.3390/cancers13164101 [doi] LID - 4101 AB - Hypoxic areas are typically resistant to treatment. However, the fluorine-18-fluoroazomycin-arabinoside (FAZA) and fluorine 18 misonidazole (FMISO) tracers have never been compared in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study compares the capability of 18F-FAZA PET/CT with that of 18F-FMISO PET/CT for detecting hypoxic tumour regions in early and locally advanced NSCLC patients. We prospectively evaluated patients who underwent preoperative PET scans before surgery for localised NSCLC (i.e., fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET, FMISO-PET, and FAZA-PET). The PET data of the three tracers were compared with each other and then compared to immunohistochemical analysis (GLUT-1, CAIX, LDH-5, and HIF1-Alpha) after tumour resection. Overall, 19 patients with a mean age of 68.2 +/- 8 years were included. There were 18 lesions with significant uptake (i.e., SUVmax >1.4) for the F-MISO and 17 for FAZA. The mean SUVmax was 3 (+/-1.4) with a mean volume of 25.8 cc (+/-25.8) for FMISO and 2.2 (+/-0.7) with a mean volume of 13.06 cc (+/-13.76) for FAZA. The SUVmax of F-MISO was greater than that of FAZA (p = 0.0003). The SUVmax of F-MISO shows a good correlation with that of FAZA at 0.86 (0.66-0.94). Immunohistochemical results are not correlated to hypoxia PET regardless of the staining. The two tracers show a good correlation with hypoxia, with FMISO being superior to FAZA. FMISO, therefore, remains the reference tracer for defining hypoxic volumes.
