Clinical research progress of PET imaging in tumor hypoxia / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

Hypoxia is a common phenomenon of solid tumor, which is closely related to the malignant proliferation, tumor progression, radiotherapy and chemotherapy resistance, treatment failure, and poor prognosis. At present, many researches focus on the application of medical imaging and nuclear medicine methods in detecting the hypoxic areas of tumors. This article focuses on the detection of hypoxia microenvironment and the application of PET tracers in tumor hypoxia imaging.
