The purpose of this study is to determine whether \[18F\]-ML-10 used in conjunction with PET imaging is effective as an imaging tool for the early detection of response of oncological tumors in the lungs,head and neck to chemoradiation therapy. The study will evaluate the potential of \[18F\]-ML-10 used in conjunction with PET imaging to distinguish early during the course of chemoradiation therapy between a tumor that responds to the therapy, and a tumor that does not respond to the therapy. Currently, this distinction is available to the physician several weeks or months after completion of therapy, using anatomical imaging (for example Computed Tomography \[CT\] or Magnetic Resonance Imaging \[MRI\]).

Subjects will receive two to three intravenous (IV) doses of \[18F\]-ML-10. The dose for each \[18F\]-ML-10 dose will be 5.50 MBq/Kg or 0.15 mCi/Kg but will not exceed 500.00 MBq (13.50 mCi) per administration.

RECRUITINGTo characterize changes in [18F]-ML-10 uptake in the target lesion in response to chemoradiotherapy.
Time frame: Between baseline and day 11 ± 1, and between baseline and day 18 ± 1
To assess the correlation between the changes in the uptake of [18F]-ML-10 in the target lesion and the changes in the anatomical dimensions of the target lesion.
To assess the correlation between the changes in the uptake of \[18F\]-ML-10 in the target lesion following an accumulative radiation dose of 14.4-20.0 Gy, and the changes in the anatomical dimensions of the target lesion, as assessed by the follow-up anatomical imaging by CT, performed after completion of the concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT).
To identify at least one parameter, derived from the changes in [18F]-ML-10 uptake that can discriminate tumors responsive to treatment from tumors that are non-responsive.
For this parameter, various cut-off values of change will be evaluated, with corresponding estimates of sensitivity and specificity.
To perform additional analyses for all other lesions and lymph nodes with at least one diameter ≥ 2 cm treated by concurrent CRT.
To assess the safety of [18F]-ML-10 administered to cancer patients receiving concurrent CRT.
