About this trial
Chemokine receptor CXCR4 is normally expressed on T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils and eosinophils as well as hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) in the bone marrow. 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT represents a promising method for the in vivo assessment of the CXCR4 expression status in cancer patients, especially in hematologic malignancies. This prospective study is going to investigate whether metabolic characterization by 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, risk stratification, and the prognostic evaluation in lymphoproliferative diseases.

Treatments tested in this trial
68Ga-Pentixafor
DrugIntravenous injection of one dose of 74-148 MBq (2-4 mCi) 68Ga-Pentixafor. Tracer doses of 68Ga- Pentixafor will be used to image lesions by PET/CT.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
SUVmax
SUVmax of focal lesions are measured on 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT. The SUVmax of the liver, and/or mediastinal blood pool, and/or L3 vertebra are defined as the background.
The time for patient's survival
Investigators follow up and record the time for patient's survival. To investigate the ralationship between initial SUVmax of focal lesions and survival. Finally, the prognostic evaluation of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT for lymphoproliferative diseases in comparison with 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Secondary outcomes
Diagnostic sensitivity and specficity in special type of lymphoma
