In this work, the effects of a modification of tumour oxygenation on tumour metabolism and with it the possible consequences and benefits for functional imaging using [18F]FDG-PET, were studied. Although our results suggest that [18F]FDG-uptake might reflect tumour hypoxia, the use of [18F]FDG as a reliable non-invasive marker of tumour hypoxia seems questionable.
