Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT in Detecting, Evaluating Response to Treatment, and Monitoring Risk of Aggressiveness of Indolent B-cell Lymphoma
This study explores the efficacy of Ga-68-PentixaFor PET/CT in detecting, assessing treatment response, and monitoring the risk of aggressiveness in indolent B-cell lymphoma. The background introduces CXCR4 and discusses its role in cancer research. Currently, FDG-PET is the primary imaging tool for lymphoma staging, but it lacks diagnostic accuracy for low-grade lymphomas. Ga-68-PentixaFor PET demonstrates promising detection capabilities across various lymphomas, suggesting its potential as a superior imaging modality for low-grade lymphomas.
• The pathological diagnosis is slow-growing lymphoma, such as: marginal-zone B-cell lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia lymphocytic lymphoma, CLL/SLL, mantle cell lymphoma.
• Have undergone or planned to undergo FDG PET scan for indications including initial staging, therapeutic response evaluation, or follow-up examinations within 3 to 6 months in the clinical observation group.
• Able to lie flat for at least 30 minutes.
• Signing the subject consent form.
• ECOG grade 0-2.
• The timing of F-18-FDG usage in this trial follows the Lymphoma Treatment Principles of our institution.
