The purpose of this study is to help researchers investigate if a new imaging agent named 18F-FMISO can predict if patients with lung cancer will respond to standard therapy, as well as whether disease will reoccur in the future. The study will also investigate whether a 18F-FDG PET scan in the middle of radiation treatment can predict if lung cancer will respond to standard therapy. Information obtained from this study may help doctors design future studies in which they may target tumor areas that do not respond to therapy or may likely reoccur in the future.

The Difference Between Two Baseline Fluorine-18-labeled Fluoro-misonidazole (18F-FMISO) Scans
The difference between two baseline 18F-FMISO PET scans three days apart to assess the reproducibility.
Time frame: 3 days from baseline
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
Time frame: 3 years
Overall Survival
Time frame: 3 years
