Brief summary
With functional imaging development, it becomes possible to increase radiation dose to radioresistant areas (located inside tumor volume) using radiotherapy dose-painting. This strategy is particularly suitable for prostate cancer where tumor hypoxia plays a major role in the resistance of these tumors to radiation. In order to develop intratumoral hypoxia targeting by radiotherapy dose-painting areas, we should characterize changes in hypoxia before treatment and during radiotherapy. * If hypoxia does not change during radiotherapy, radiotherapy dose-painting strategy by an integrated boost is performed. * If hypoxia varied (increasing or incomplete regression), a final boost strategy of radiotherapy dose-painting(IMRT, stereotactic brachytherapy or high dose rate) after a first fractionated IMRT could be considered. This study should show that PET imaging with fluoromisonidazole (18F-MISO) is an available tool to physicians in assessing tumor hypoxia.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To characterize changes in tumor hypoxia (PET with 18F-MISO) during radiation therapy of prostate cancer. | 3 to 4 weeks after beginning of radiation therapy | First PET-scan with 18-F-Miso done before radiation Second PET-scan with 18-F-Miso done 3 to 4 weeks after the beginning of radiation therapy. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To compare hypoxia imaging (PET with 18F-MISO) with anatomical imaging (PET with 18F-choline) to study the feasibility of a tailored treatment. | before and 3 to 4 weeks after the begining of radiation therapy | Images obtained with PET Choline and MRI (anatomical location) will be merge with images obtained by 18F-MISO PET to search hypoxia on these anatomical areas. |
