CT scan study for blood cancers with a chest mass syndrome
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how CT scan findings in the chest (mediastinum) can relate to outcomes for people with blood cancers who have mediastinal mass syndrome. It may help doctors better understand which scan features matter most when deciding care in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blood cancer (for example, lymphoma or leukemia) that’s newly diagnosed or has come back
- You have symptoms from a chest “mediastinal mass syndrome” (a pressure/problem in the chest area)
- You were admitted to the ICU or a high-monitoring unit (CMS) for these symptoms
- You had a chest CT scan within the right timing window after steroid treatment
- You had no prior drainage of fluid from the lining around the lungs (pleura) or around the heart (pericardium)
- You have health coverage through Social Security

This trial looks at CT scan results to see if they can help predict how someone with a serious lung infection caused by Mucorales fungus will do. It asks whether certain features on CT scans can give clues about recovery and future health.
This study uses a special high-resolution CT scan to look at heart and lung problems in people with a type of lung disease that gets worse over time. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected and guide better care.
This study uses a CT scan to estimate how strong a cancer-affected bone area is, helping doctors evaluate fracture risk and bone management. It is aimed at adults with bone lesions from several common cancer types.
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This trial tests how well a CT scan and lung function tests can measure interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is long-term scarring or inflammation in the lungs. It may help doctors use these images and tests more accurately to track ILD.
This study tests whether routine chest CT scans—imaging done for other reasons—can reliably find breast cancer. Researchers will compare chest CT results with mammograms and/or breast MRI to see if this approach could catch breast cancers earlier without extra imaging.
