How pet scans can help manage lymphoma
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of scan (F-18 FDG PET/CT) to better understand metabolism in adults with lymphoma. The results may help doctors plan treatment more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma (tested with tissue sample and cell markers).
- You cannot have another type of cancer at the same time.
- You cannot be pregnant (the scan uses a small amount of radiation).
- You cannot have severe kidney or liver problems that might affect the scan.
- Your diabetes must be well-controlled, with blood sugar under 200 mg/dL.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 type of scan called PET/CT to get a better picture of lymphoma in older adults. It may help your doctor see how far the lymphoma has spread and choose the best treatment.
This study checks whether a specific analysis method (called FUR) can better measure how much “sugar” from PET scans is used by tumors. It uses regular PET/CT scans you may already get as part of standard care, and compares how the measurements work.
This study tests a new imaging method called CXCR4 PET/CT that may help doctors better see and understand lymphomas (a type of blood cancer). It is for people who are newly diagnosed or suspected of having lymphoma and have already had a standard PET/CT.
This study looks at how certain factors affect the way a radioactive tracer called FDG is taken up by normal organs and tumors. It may help improve the accuracy of PET scans for cancer patients.
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.
