PET Scan Test for Slow-Growing Lymphoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan to take detailed pictures of slow-growing lymphomas, likely before or after your regular treatment scan. It may help your doctor see exactly where the lymphoma is in your body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a slow-growing type of lymphoma (like marginal zone, Waldenstrom's, CLL/SLL, or mantle cell lymphoma).
- You will have or already have a PET scan scheduled in the next 3 to 6 months.
- You can lie flat and still for at least 30 minutes.
- You feel well enough for daily activities (ECOG score 0, 1, or 2).
- You do not have severe kidney problems or allergies to radioactive tracers, and you are not pregnant.

This trial tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation than usual works well for people with slow-growing B-cell lymphomas. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the disease.
This trial looks at whether PET/CT scans can better predict outcomes in people with fast-growing lymphoma. If you are newly diagnosed and receiving standard treatment, the study may help refine how response is evaluated.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look at the environment around your lymphoma. The goal is to see if this scan can predict how well your treatment will work and your long-term outcome.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to learn more about lymphoma in adults. The scan may help doctors better understand your cancer and guide treatment decisions.
This early study tests a new PET scan tracer (a radioactive imaging agent) that may light up a cell marker called CXCR4 in certain blood and solid tumor cancers. It may help doctors see where cancers are and how much CXCR4 they have, which could guide future treatments.
This trial tests a new PET/CT imaging tracer called [18F]BL40 to see if it can help spot certain types of blood cancers. It may help doctors better understand and monitor these diseases.
