Positron emission tomography (PET) is a common imaging technique and can provide accurate information about the size, shape, and location of tumors. Recent evidence has shown that G-quadruplex structures (G4s) are identified in human oncogenes, and these special structures are recognized as diagnostic cancer markers and drug targets for anticancer therapies. Although a number of techniques for in vivo imaging of G4s have been developed, achieving sufficient sensitivity and selectivity in vivo remains challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effectiveness of true whole-body (TWB) PET/CT imaging compared to limited whole-body (LWB) imaging for assessing extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKT) staging and treatment strategies.
  • Out of 225 patients diagnosed with ENKT, a significant majority (88.9%) had tumors confined to the LWB range, with only 11.1% showing unexpected lesions in the distal extremities.
  • The findings suggest that TWB PET/CT is not recommended for initial diagnosis but may be utilized for follow-up in patients, particularly where progressive disease is suspected.
