LYMPH NODE METASTASES IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA PATIENTS
Twenty patients candidates to radical nephrectomy and extended lymphadenectomy for clinical T4 cancers (clinical Nany) or renal masses with evidence of lymphadenopathies at preoperative CT scan (clinical Tany N1) or larger tumor (clinical Tany Nany and max diameter\>10 cm). RCC candidates to surgery will receive a single intravenous infusion of 18F-FAZA. Surgery will be scheduled within 1 week after infusion. PET and CT scanning of the abdomen will be planned before surgery.
18F-FAZA PET IMAGING TECHNIQUE IN DETECTING LYMPH NODE METASTASES IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA PATIENTS
18F-FAZA is a highly selective PET radiotracer of hypoxia, which has been recently developed and tested in several studies (10-14). 18F-FAZA has been demonstrated to be a marker of hypoxia and pathological metabolic patterns which are common to all renal cancers.
