Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Three study FMISO-CT/PET scans. Timing of scans is pre-treatment, after 10 fraction and 2 weeks after completion of radiotherapy treatment.
Each FMISO-PET/CT scan will take approximately 60 minutes. A needle (intravenous cannula) is inserted into the patients arm and used to inject the contrast for this scan.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 291017 0
Evaluate the feasibility of measuring the changes in hypoxia as assessed by FMISO-PET within the tumour throughout a course of radical chemoradiation therapy.

The level of hypoxia is measured and assessed using image analysis software in the Nuclear medicine department. It measure levels of radioactivity that FMISO produces. The feasibility assessment is to ensure that we can adequately measure the changes and the images will be analysable with their software. Other software will need to be explored if this doesn't work.
Timepoint [1] 291017 0
After completion of the three study scans.
Secondary outcome [1] 305850 0
Evaluate the textural analysis method in hypoxia PET imaging.

This is performed using Matlab software and allows additional information to be obtained from the PET scans. It is hoped this will provide a semi-quantitative measuring tool.
Timepoint [1] 305850 0
After completion of the three study scans.
