Summary
This study tested whether a special PET scan (FDG PET-CT) can find leukemia that has spread outside the bone marrow in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ten participants, ages 5 to 39, received a PET scan before and after CAR T-cell therapy. The goal was to see how common these hidden spots are and whether they affect treatment success. The study did not offer a new treatment but aimed to improve how doctors monitor the disease.
