Abstract:Objective: The prognostic impact of total metabolic tumor volume(TMTV) measured on pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT was investigated in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL). Methods: A total of 65 consecutive patients with DLBCL who received Rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone chemotherapy(R-CHOP) as first-line treatment and baseline FDG PET/CT were retrospectively evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off values for the metabolic parameters. The relationships between study variables and patient survival were tested using Cox regression analysis. Patient survival rates were derived from Kaplan-Meier curves and compared by using the log-rank test. Results: In patients with a low TMTV(<146 cm3), the 2-year progression free survival(PFS) rate was 43.1% and the overall survival(OS) rate was 45.3%, in contrast to 5.2% and 15.3%, respectively, in those with a high TMTV(≥146 cm3). Conclusions: TMTV of 18F-FDG PET/CT could be used as an important prognostic indicator for DLBCL.
