简要总结

RATIONALE: New imaging procedures, such as whole-body MRI, may improve the ability to detect metastatic cancer and determine the extent of disease.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying whole-body MRI to see how well it works compared to standard imaging procedures in detecting distant metastases in patients with solid tumors or lymphoma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare non-inferior diagnostic performance of whole-body MRI (i.e., combination of turbo short-tau inversion-recovery (STIR) and out-of-phase imaging) vs conventional imaging (i.e., the combination of chest CT scan, scintigraphy [bone, gallium, meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), or optional fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)] and abdominal/pelvic CT scan/MRI as indicated) for detecting distant metastases for use in staging common tumors in pediatric patients.

Secondary

  • Determine the incremental benefit of adding out-of-phase T1-weighted gradient-recalled echo imaging to turbo STIR for detecting distant disease in these patients.
  • Determine, preliminarily, the relative accuracies of FDG-PET, whole-body MRI, and a combination of FDG-PET and whole-body MRI in detecting stage IV disease in these patients.
  • Determine the effects of multiple factors, including cancer type, site of primary tumor, and patient age, on diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI in these patients.
  • Determine the interobserver variability associated with interpreting whole-body MRI exams for detecting distant metastases in these patients.
