Table 3 Differences in FDG and FMISO PET data before and after chemotherapy (increase in FMISO uptake; increase in mean SUV of FDG uptake); * kidney metastasis as well as an early local tumour progression; local PR but disseminated lung metastases.

From: [18F] fluoromisonidazole and [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in response evaluation after chemo-/radiotherapy of non-small-cell lung cancer: a feasibility study
