The aim of this study was to analyze the intratumor heterogeneity and other biological parameters based on in vivo distribution in triple-tracer positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET\/CT) study in patients with newly diagnosed head and neck (H&N) cancer.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n Thirty-six patients with newly diagnosed H&N cancer were included in the study. Institutional Bioethical Committee approved the study protocol and informed consent was received from every participant. All patients underwent series of 3 PET\/CT scans with [\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F]Fluorodeoxyglucose (\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FDG-PET), [\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F]Fluorothymidine (\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FLT-PET), and [\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F]Fluoromisonidazole (\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FMISO-PET) before treatment. Scans were performed on separate days, within a timeframe of 2 weeks. Several PET\/CT parameters grading tumor biology including maximum standardized uptake value (SUV\n max<\/jats:sub>\n ), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), its equivalent (total hypoxic lesion [TLH] and total proliferative lesion [TLP]), and heterogeneity (area under the curve\u2013cumulative SUV histogram) for the primary tumor were compared.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n All patients showed increased uptake of\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FDG in primary tumor, ranging from 2.29 to 14.89 SUV\n max<\/jats:sub>\n . Respectively, SUV\n max<\/jats:sub>\n values for\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FLT ranged from 0.93 to 16.11 and for\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FMISO 0.36\u20134.07. Based on 3-year follow-up, we divided patients in terms of survival forecasts (first with good prognosis and second with worse). Higher values of TLG\/TLP\/TLH and SUV\n max<\/jats:sub>\n were observed in the second group in all 3 tracers (for\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FDG: 167.40 vs 100.32, 11.15 vs 8.95; for\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FLT: 116.61 vs 60.67, 7.09 vs 5.47; for\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FMISO: 37.34 vs 22.30, 1.70 vs 1.61 respectively). Statistically significant differences were shown in SUV\n max<\/jats:sub>\n in\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FDG and\n 18<\/jats:sup>\n F-FLT ( P<0.034, P<0.034, respectively; in TLG, P=0.05; TLP, P=0.04; and TLH, P=0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Our preliminary results suggest worse prognosis in patients with higher heterogeneity values of primary tumor in proliferation and hypoxia images and combination of metabolic and volumetric parameters in TLG and its equivalent and heterogeneity of primary tumor seems to be a prognostic factor.<\/jats:p>\n
