Early Response Assessment in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLCL) Patients by 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglycose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET)
Completed
- Conditions
- Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
- Registration Number
- NCT00754117
- Lead Sponsor
- Weill Medical College of Cornell University
- Brief Summary
Newly diagnosed DLCL patients will have baselne FDG-PET as part of initial staging (PET-1). Patients will then undergo 2 cycles of chemotherapy with R/CHOP. 14 to 21 days following cycle 2 of R/CHOP, patients will undergo repeat FDG-PET scan (PET-2). They will then complete therapy as planned. Following completion of therapy, standard response assessment will be performed, including CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis and FDG-PET scan (PET-3).
