This is a prospective registry study to evaluate the diagnostic utility of 18F-BL40 PET/CT to stage patients with CXCR4-expressing tumors, localize sites of tumors and assess safety and biodistribution of this drug in PET/CT scans. Each subject will receive two PET/CT scans, one using 18F-BL40 and the other using 18F-FDG. The 18F-BL40 radioactive tracer is manufactured for this study under a Clinical Trial Application filed with Health Canada. 18F-FDG is considered standard care and has been approved by Health Canada. Follow-up assessments: All subjects will be contacted by phone the day after the injection of 18F-BL40. The subjects will be asked if they experienced any undesirable effects during the 18-72 hours after the administration of 18F-BL40. The local site attending nuclear medicine physician will then make an assessment as to whether these effects are likely related to 18F-BL40 administration. All subjects will be followed for at least 6 months following the 18F-BL40 PET/CT exam. The evaluation will include a chart review of available imaging, laboratory tests, and treatment. The data required can be obtained from a review of the patient's paper and electronic charts, supplemented by telephone contact as needed to complete the information.
