An Investigational Scan (18F-FAZA PET/MRI) for the Evaluation of Tumor Oxygen Levels in Patients with High Grade Glioma or Cervical Cancer

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This early phase I trial evaluates how well 18F-FAZA positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scans work in checking oxygen level of the tumor area in patients with high grade glioma or cervical cancer. Hypoxia (a low level of oxygen in the blood) may cause both 1) certain treatments to not be effective, and 2) tumors to be more aggressive. 18F-FAZA is a type of drug called a radiotracer that, along with the PET/MRI scan, is used to help see what areas of the body have lower oxygen levels.
