N2 - Tumour hypoxia and its molecular responses have been shown to be associated with poor prognosis. Detection of hypoxia, preferably in a non-invasive manner, could therefore predict treatment outcome and serve as a tool to individualize treatment. This review gives an overview of recent literature on hypoxia imaging markers currently used in clinical trials. Furthermore, recent progress made in targeting hypoxia (hypoxia-activated prodrugs) or hypoxia response (carbonic anhydrase IX inhibitors) is summarized. Last, window-of-opportunity trials implementing non-invasive imaging are proposed as an important tool to prove anti-tumour efficacy of experimental drugs early during drug development.
