Prognostication and Risk-Adapted Therapy of Hodgkin's Lymphoma Using Positron Emission Tomography
1Department of Oncology and Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 1650 Orleans Street, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA.
Abstract:
The use of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for response assessment in lymphoma is now widespread. Prognostic information obtained from PET performed after two to three cycles of chemotherapy may guide more individualized, risk-adapted therapeutic strategies. Progress in the risk stratification of Hodgkin's lymphoma through midtreatment PET is reviewed, with a focus on management implications in newly diagnosed and relapsed disease. How to tailor treatment on the basis of the interim PET result is not yet defined but is the subject of ongoing trials.
