(18)F-FDG, (18)F-fluorothymidine, and (18)F-misonidazole PET scans have emerged as important clinical tools in the management of cancer; however, none of them have demonstrated conclusive superiority. The aim of this study was to compare the intratumoral accumulation of (18)F-FDG, (18)F-fluorothymidine, and (18)F-misonidazole and relate this to specific components of the tumor microenvironment in mouse models of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
