title: [Prospect of hypoxia imaging of nuclear medicine in tumors].
abstract: Tumor tissue hypoxia is taken as an important biologic character of malignant tumors, it could reduce the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Presenting a noninvasive approach in detecting hypoxic state in tumors, hypoxia imaging of nuclear medicine can be used in the differential diagnosis, prognosis evaluation and guiding therapy of malignant tumors.
