Improving Response Assessment in Cancer by Measurement of Cellular Redox Status Using 18F-FSPG Positron Emission Tomography
Prospective single centre non-randomised exploratory observational study to measure changes in tumour cellular redox status with 18F-FSPG PET in stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and stage 3 and 4 head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) at baseline and during standard of care treatment, and to compare this with 18F-FDG PET/CT and RECIST 1.1 response at 12 weeks.

• Histologically confirmed HNSCC or NSCLC, who are treatment naïve and scheduled to commence standard of care treatment ((chemo)radiotherapy)
