  • Patient is at least 18 years of age on the day of dosing (male or female of any race or ethnicity)
  • Patient is capable of lying still in the PET scanner for the protocol required time frame(s)
  • Patient has a diagnosis of one of the following malignancies using the TNM Staging System:
  • Lung cancer (T3 grade up, node positive, but no metastatic disease)
  • Head and neck cancer (T3 grade up, node positive, but no metastatic disease)
  • Patient has undergone a comparative, diagnostic procedure with lesion(s) visible, other than ultrasound, that includes, but is not limited to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine imaging, endoscopy, laparoscopy, standard abdominal x-ray, biopsy and/or surgery for one of the above mentioned areas
  • Patient is scheduled to start radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen for curative intent
  • As a part of his/her standard radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy regimen, patient is scheduled to have clinical \[F-18\]FDG PET scans pre treatment and post treatment (at about 4 weeks (±1 week) after the start of therapy)
  • Patient is scheduled to have the investigational, pre treatment \[F-18\] FLT PET scan recommended to be within ± 2 days of the clinical, pre treatment \[F-18\] FDG PET scan
  • Patient has not received or intends to receive 5-fluorouracil (chemotherapeutic agent)
  • Patient has a score of greater than or equal to (\>/=) 60% on the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale

Exclusion

  • by surgical history (eg, tubal ligation or hysterectomy)
  • by patient's history of being post menopausal with a minimum 1 year without menses
  • Patient is undergoing treatment with palliative intent
  • Patient has received an investigational compound and/or medical device within 14 days before admission into this study
