19. ACRIN / RTOG Concept:Pre-treatment tumor parameters and intra-therapy tumor response as measured by FDG-PET/CT and DCE-MRI • Evaluates 2 functional imaging methods (targeting metabolism and perfusion) for characterizing primary tumor regarding susceptibility to RT • Intra-therapy FDG-PET/CT or DCE-MRI at 3 weeks predicts patient-specific response to treatment, as indicated by 3-month post-treatment FDG-PET/CT • Perfusion parameters determined by DCE-MRI can be used as biomarkers for response to anti-angiogenic chemotherapy
