Brief Summary:
\[18F\] FMISO Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to determine hypoxia in patients with HCC treated with TACE.
Detailed Description:
This Phase II study will investigate the utility of \[18F\] FMISO in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that PET determined \[18F\]FMISO uptake will indicate tumor hypoxia in patients with HCC treated with trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE). We anticipate that \[18F\] FMISO PET/CT will advance our understanding of the role of hypoxia in HCC prior to treatment and that this knowledge will help design newer combination therapeutic trials for better treatment outcomes. \[18F\] FMISO PET/CT provides three parameters, tissue hypoxic volume (HV), maximum tissue to blood uptake ratio (T:Bmax) and tumor blood flow. Both pre-and post-therapy images will be examined to investigate changes in these parameters during the course of TACE treatment.
