Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT for extranodal staging of non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the role of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) involving care-dose unenhanced CT to detect extranodal involvement in patients with non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lymphoma patients (35 Hodgkin lymphoma, 75 non-Hodgkin lymphoma) who were referred for 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging, follow...
متن کاملFluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography imaging of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma patients.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) findings in patients with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). In total, 9 patients with histopathologically confirmed T-LBL were included in the study. Bone marrow (BM) involvement and leukemic transformation (LT) were evaluated through iliac crest marrow biopsy and periphera...
متن کاملPositron emission tomographic scans in lymphoma: convention and controversy.
The use of sensitive and specific imaging techniques for accurate initial staging and evaluation of response to therapy in patients with lymphoma is essential for their optimal management. Fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) integrated with computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a powerful imaging tool and is being routinely used in staging, response evaluat...
متن کاملClassification and incidence of pediatric lymphomas
Pediatric lymphomas (PL) are the third most common malignancy and account for 10% to 15% of all cancers in the pediatric age group. Accurate classification and staging are important for appropriate prognosis and treatment of pediatric Hodgkin’s lymphoma (PHL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (PNHL) and impact patient prognosis significantly. The role of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emissi...
متن کاملBone marrow biopsy for the initial staging of patients with lymphoma: too soon to toss the trephine.
Recent studies showing excellent sensitivity of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-CT for detecting marrow involvement in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)[1-3] and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)[4] have led some to claim that bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is obsolete. The argument is that the low number of patients “upstaged” by positive BMB no longer justifi...
