New study to decode PET-CT patterns in elderly lymphoma patients
NCT ID NCT07259941
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will examine PET-CT scan images from 63 patients aged 60 and older who have lymphoma. The goal is to describe the patterns and metabolic activity seen on the scans, which may help doctors better diagnose and predict the course of the disease. No new treatments are being tested; this is purely an observational imaging study.
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 study could help doctors better diagnose and predict outcomes for elderly lymphoma patients using PET-CT scans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment being tested, so it will not directly improve patient health. Results may not apply to all elderly patients.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The participants include elderly patients (≥60 years) with confirmed lymphoma diagnosis through histopathological examination. Excluded are individuals with other active cancers or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (blood glucose \> 200 mg/dL), which could interfere with PET scan accuracy. Patients must have fasting blood glucose \< 200 mg/dL before 18F-FDG injection and are prepared per standardized protocols. The sample size is calculated to be approximately 63 patients, providing adequate statistical power based on confidence limits and previous positive PET findings in elderly lymphoma cohorts.
