Progress in the application of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT in lung cancer: a review.
Review in Oncology reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT, a molecular imaging technique targeting the C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), has emerged as a promising tool in the diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of lung cancer. Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and accurate imaging modalities are critical for early detection, staging, and treatment monitoring. Current imaging approaches face challenges in differentiating tumor subtypes and assessing tumor biology, which limits personalized treatment strategies. This review systematically summarizes the application of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT across various histological subtypes of lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and rare lung cancer variants. We emphasize the correlation between PET imaging findings and immunohistochemical CXCR4 expression, highlighting the diagnostic value and unique imaging characteristics of this modality. Additionally, the potential role of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT in guiding radioligand therapy is discussed, alongside its utility in tumor staging, therapeutic response assessment, and individualized treatment planning. By integrating recent clinical studies and systematic evaluations, this review aims to elucidate the advantages and limitations of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT, providing theoretical insights and practical guidance for advancing precision medicine in lung cancer management.
