Abstract:
The objective of the study was to research diagnostic and prognostic values of 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The diagnostic sensitivity (Sen) of PET/CT (94.75 %) was remarkably higher than 83.56 % of B-US. Age ≥ 65 years old, maximum focal diameter ≥5 cm, clinical stages III-IV, systemic symptoms, increased lactate dehydrogenase level, high modified international prognostic index score, Ecog score ≥1, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) gene, MYC protein expression rate, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were all factors that influenced the recurrence or progression of DLBCL. With higher MTV and TLG, patients would have a greater probability of recurrence or progression. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed a high diagnostic Sen in lymphoma lesions, and could accurately guide clinical staging. Combined with clinical parameters, laboratory indicators, and metabolic parameters, prognostic indicators of patients could be evaluated more accurately.
