Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-Scan in the Evaluation of High Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma

Completed
Conditions
Lymphoma, Follicular
Registration Number
NCT00915096
Lead Sponsor
Lymphoma Study Association
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess in a prospective series of patients with high tumor burden follicular lymphoma treated with R-CHOP, the predictive value of \[18F\]-FDG PET performed over (after 4 treatments), and at the end of the first-line treatment on progression-free survival at 2 years.
