Abstract
Patients with pathologically confirmed lymphoma/leukemia were retrospectively identified from a large single-institution phase III clinical trial with ferumoxtran-10. Five (2.3%) of 220 patients had lymphoid malignancies involving lymph nodes. A subset of patients ( n=27) with biopsy-proven nodal metastases from genitourinary or breast cancer was selected as control group. Ferumoxtran-10 enhancement patterns and signal-to-noise ratios of lymph nodes involved by metastases and lymphoid malignancy were assessed. Like nodal metastases, nodes involved by lymphoid malignancies demonstrate persistent high T2*-signal intensity on lymphotropic nanoparticle-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
