This prospective proof-of-principle study aimed to determine whether [Ga]Ga-Pentixafor uptake, which reflects CXCR4 expression, is higher in the bone marrow of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) than in other oncological diseases without bone marrow infiltration and can therefore be used for CLL imaging.
Furthermore, the incidence of bone marrow infiltration (16/51 with bone marrow involvement vs 35/51 with bone marrow involvement; Spearman ρ=0467 P<0.001) positively correlated with CXCR4 expression.
Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the MCD values and the prognostic markers CRP (r = 0.452, p < 0.0001), IL-6 (r = 0.475, p < 0.0001), bone marrow infiltration (r = 0.333, p < 0.0002), and serum paraprotein levels(r = 0.221, p < 0.04).
Apart from the diagnostic and prognostic value of laboratory abnormalities such as clonal lymphocytosis with CD5+CD19+CD23+ phenotype, reduced erythrocyte parameters, thrombocytopenia or bone marrow infiltration by the neoplastic clone as well as low percentage of Gumprecht's shadows, low apoptotic activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes, and increased percentage of CD38- and ZAP-70 ± cells markedly correlate with the stage of disease progression.

Bone marrow infiltration pattern in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia is related to immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region mutation status and expression of 70-kd zeta-associated protein (ZAP-70).
The amplification correlated significantly with the bone marrow infiltration, plasma cell morphology and labelling index as well as serum beta2-microglobulin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and creatinine levels.
The ADAMTS-13 antigen levels were decreased in WM patients and correlated with the IgM levels, β<sub>2</sub>-microglobulin, and extent of bone marrow infiltration.
The repressed expression of SHP-1 and SHP-2 correlated significantly with a high initial degree of bone marrow infiltration but was, unexpectedly, associated with a better response to the induction therapy.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a lymphoproliferative lymphoma that is characterized by monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein and bone marrow infiltration.
The repressed expression of SHP-1 and SHP-2 correlated significantly with a high initial degree of bone marrow infiltration but was, unexpectedly, associated with a better response to the induction therapy.
With regard to clinical associations, we observed a significant increase in DKC1, RAD50, MRE11 and RPA1 expression in MM cases with high bone marrow infiltration (p≤0.03) and a tendency towards cases with advanced ISS stage, providing the first evidence of non-shelterin genes associated to risk factors in MM.

Taken all diagnoses together, all patients with MYD88L265P mutations had an immunoglobulin M peak and almost all patients except one had bone marrow infiltration.
