The main objective of the present study was to examine quantitatively the effects of chemotherapy on brain metabolism in a homogeneous population of children treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma using 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Functional imaging using 18-fluorodeoxyglycose ([<sup>18</sup>F]FDG) positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) has become a major imaging modality in Hodgkin lymphoma.
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and F-FDG PET/CT-based maximum tumor diameter, lesion-to-liver ratio maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and lesion-to-liver ratio peak standardized uptake value (SUVpeak) were all significantly higher (P<0.001) in PMBCL than in Hodgkin's lymphoma, and PMBCL also significantly more frequently (P=0.001) exhibited necrosis on F-FDG PET/CT than Hodgkin's lymphoma.
<b>Conclusion:</b> We confirmed that <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET scanning is a reliable tool for BMI assessment in HL, and BM biopsy is no longer needed for routine staging.
There was no significant difference in F-FDG metabolic parameters, IPS, and other risk indicators between HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.
Quantitative assessment of 18F-FDG PET in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma: is it significantly affected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography attenuation correction?
This retrospective study included all adult Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL) patients (>18 years old) who benefited from FDG PET-CT before (within 1 month) and/or early (+3 months and within +6 to 9 months) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in our institution between 2005 and 2015 and who were still without documented progression or relapse at the time of the FDG PET-CT. All FDG PET-CT were reviewed by a nuclear medicine expert in hematology and restaged according to the Deauville scale.
Thirty-five patients diagnosed with HL who underwent <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT scans before and during chemotherapy were retrospectively enrolled in this investigation.
To determine whether the current <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET response criterion for skeletal involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is suitable, we performed a systematic evaluation of the different types of skeletal involvement and their response on PET after 2 cycles of chemotherapy (PET-2).
In a retrospective cohort study, we analysed cardiac and skeletal muscle <sup>18</sup> F-FDG uptake in onco-positron emission tomography-computed tomography scans in adult patients suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and non-lymphatic cancer including patients suffering from thyroid cancer, bronchial carcinoma, and malignant melanoma.
18-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) is currently the criterion standard of lymphoma imaging and recommended through all stages of Hodgkin lymphoma management.
Here, we present the findings of a whole-body <sup>18</sup>FDG PET/CT with extensive and multifocal involvement of the GIT in a patient that developed severe acute GVHD 93 days post autologous SCT for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET and CT Scans Detect New Imaging Patterns of Response and Progression in Patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma Treated by Anti-Programmed Death 1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor.
In terms of staging, the meta-analytic staging accuracies of WB-MRI and <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT for Hodgkin lymphoma and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were 98% (95% CI, 94%-100%) and 98% (95% CI, 94%-100%), respectively.
We present the results of an investigation of the role of FDG PET in response evaluation of bulky masses in paediatric patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) enrolled in the Italian AIEOP-LH2004 trial.
To determine whether, in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG PET/MR can capture treatment effects within the first week after treatment initiation, and whether changes in glucose metabolism and cell density occur simultaneously.
In patients with FDG-avid lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), <sup>18</sup> F-FDG-PET/CT remains the imaging reference standard for staging, with WB-MRI potentially being a complementary modality that could replace CT, especially in young patients.
