PET-CT scan for lymphoma in older adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 60 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma from a biopsy.
- You must not have any other active cancer besides lymphoma.
- Your blood sugar must be under 200 mg/dL at the time of the PET/CT scan (this will be checked before the test).

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.
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 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 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 uses a special PET/MR scan with a tracer called 68Ga-Pentixafor to see if it can better find lymphoma and multiple myeloma spots in the body. It may help doctors get clearer pictures than standard scans.
