Can PET scans better predict lymphoma outcomes?
NCT ID NCT04333524
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study reviews PET scans from 496 people with marginal zone lymphoma to see how well the scans help with staging and predicting treatment response. Researchers will compare PET results with CT scans and other tests. The goal is to improve how doctors use PET imaging for this type of lymphoma.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors use PET scans more accurately to stage marginal zone lymphoma and predict how patients will respond to treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective analysis of existing scans, not a new treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and results depend on the quality of previously collected data.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. One of the following subtypes of Histology confirmed Indolent non-follicular B-cell lymphoma: * Splenic MZL (bone marrow histology and/or splenic tissue); * Extranodal MZL or MALT (tissue biopsy); * Nodal MZL (lymph node biopsy). 2. Age over 18. 3. Availability of details on clinical presentation, treatment details and results, and on follow-up. 4. Execution of PET at diagnosis or/and at end of treatment or/and at relapse. 5. Execution of CT scan with iodine contrast medium at diagnosis and at assessment of response. 6. Patients with histologically confirmed marginal zone lymphomas according to the current WHO classification are registered in the study. Diagnosis based on tru-cut core-needle biopsies are permitted in the study. 7. Written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with a diagnosis of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma other than MZL. 2. Scans images not available for whatever reason. 3. Cases diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology only.
