This study explores the efficacy of Ga-68-PentixaFor PET/CT in detecting, assessing treatment response, and monitoring the risk of aggressiveness in indolent B-cell lymphoma. The background introduces CXCR4 and discusses its role in cancer research. Currently, FDG-PET is the primary imaging tool for lymphoma staging, but it lacks diagnostic accuracy for low-grade lymphomas. Ga-68-PentixaFor PET demonstrates promising detection capabilities across various lymphomas, suggesting its potential as a superior imaging modality for low-grade lymphomas.

Ga-68-CXCR4 for PET/CT procedure in Indolent B-cell Lymphoma
Koo Foundation Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center
Taipei, Beitou, Taiwan
RECRUITINGPerformance of Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT in indolent B cell lymphoma
Detection rate = number of positive scan / total number of scan Sensitivity = number of true positive scan / total number of proven recurrent patient Specificity = number of true negative scan / total number of proven free of disease patient Accuracy = number of (true positive scan + true negative scan) / total number of scan Positive predictive value = number of true positive scan / number of positive scan Negative predictive value = number of true negative scan / number of negative scan

Prognostic value of Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT scan
The correlation between the radiomic features of Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT scan and progression free survival. CXCR4 radiomics : Feature extraction was performed with the open-source Python package pyradiomics. For each volume of interest (VOI), including first-order statistics, shape features, grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), grey level run length matrix (GLRLM), grey level size-zone matrix (GLSZM), neighborhood grey level different matrix (NGLDM), and grey level dependence matrix (GLDM).
Time frame: up to 36 months
