| Main Objective: The aim of this study is the evaluation of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT sensitivity for localizing area of hypoxia within tumoral masses;Secondary Objective: Secondary aim is the evaluation of the added value of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT in comparison to 18F-FDG PET/CT (standard tracer routinely used for cancer staging before a radical treatment).;Primary end point(s): 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT sensitivity for localizing area of hypoxia within tumoral masses will be evaluated by comparing the results obtained with 64Cu-ATSM (in terms of lesion number and extent and tracer uptake) to the data obtained during the clinical follow up (disease free survival and overall survival). The 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT added value will be evaluated by comparing the results to the 18F-FDG PET/CT in terms of tracer distribution within the tumoral mass. | — |
