Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the SUV measurement from FDG-PET imaging shortly after treatment is a useful predictor of long-term clinical outcome (survival) after definitive chemoradiotherapy. Eligible patients are those older than 18 years with AJCC clinical stage IIB/III non-small cell lung carcinoma who are being planned for definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (inoperable disease). A total of 250 participants will be enrolled, including at least 75 with stage IIB/IIIA and at least 75 with stage IIIB disease. A baseline whole-body FDG-PET scan will be performed. Follow up after chemoradiotherapy will comprise restaging of the disease and a second whole-body FDG-PET scan 12 to 16 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy (at least 4 weeks after adjuvant chemotherapy).
