Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Non-small cell lung cancer stage IB-IV amenable for radiotherapy with curative intent. - (Stage IV patients with oligometastatic (1-4 metastases) NSCLC are regularly treated radically in the IKL region) - Patients not included in the PET-boost trial. - WHO performance status 0-2 - Willing and able to comply with the study prescriptions - 18 years or older - Ability to give and having given written informed consent before patient registration - No recent (less than 3 months) severe cardiac disease (NYHA class higher than 1) (congestive heart failure, infarction) - No radiotherapy in 4 weeks prior to this study - No treatment with investigational drugs in 4 weeks prior to or during this study. - No known allergy to nitroglycerin or nitroglycerin patch. - No known allergy to iodine based contrast agents - No use of vaso-dilators (calcium channel blockers, nitrates or 5-fosfodiesterase inhibitors) - No symptomatic hypotension - No other active malignancy - No major surgery (excluding diagnostic procedures like e.g. mediastinoscopy) in previous 4 weeks - Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance at least 60 ml/min

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
- Demonstrate an absolute increase in 2 year overall survival of 15 % vs historical controls

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Decrease of hypoxia (less uptake of HX-4 in the tumor) on PET-scan described by TBR - Tumor perfusion (of the largest lesion tumor/ node) on DCECT-scan described by Whole tumour Blood Volume and Tumour Permeability - Evaluating prognostic effect of perfusion and hypoxia values in patients treated with nitroglycerin. - Acute toxicity (CTC AE 4.0) - Evaluate response on an 18-FDG PET-CT scan 2.5 months after the end of treatment and correlate these findings with pre-radiotherapy FDG / hypoxia PET-scans and perfusion CT scans.
