20With functional imaging development, it becomes possible to increase radiation dose to radioresistant areas (located inside tumor volume) using radiotherapy dose-painting. This strategy is particularly suitable for prostate cancer where tumor hypoxia plays a major role in the resistance of these tumors to radiation.
In order to develop intratumoral hypoxia targeting by radiotherapy dose-painting areas, we should characterize changes in hypoxia before treatment and during radiotherapy.
If hypoxia does not change during radiotherapy, radiotherapy dose-painting strategy by an "integrated" boost is performed.
If hypoxia varied (increasing or incomplete regression), a "final" boost strategy of radiotherapy dose-painting(IMRT, stereotactic brachytherapy or high dose rate) after a first fractionated IMRT could be considered.
This study should show that PET imaging with fluoromisonidazole (18F-MISO) is an available tool to physicians in assessing tumor hypoxia.
