PET scan for lymphoma in older adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a special imaging test called a PET/CT scan to take detailed pictures of lymphoma in older adults. The goal is to see how well this scan helps doctors understand and manage lymphoma in people aged 60 and above.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 60 years of age or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma (a cancer of the lymph system).
- You must not have any other active cancer at the same time.
- If you have diabetes, your blood sugar must be under 200 mg/dL when you get the PET/CT scan.

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 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 trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how your body handles fat. It is only for healthy volunteers, not for people with melanoma, to help doctors learn more about the body's normal fat metabolism.
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan that targets a protein on some cancer cells to help detect and evaluate malignant tumors. It may help doctors better map tumors before any cancer treatment starts.
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.
