An update on the role of interim restaging FDG-PET in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma

Craig H Moskowitz et al. J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2010 Mar.

Abstract

A significant amount of literature is available on treatment monitoring and response assessment in lymphoma using FDG-PET, yet confusion exists concerning the potential and limitations of FDG-PET for determining the presence of residual disease during chemotherapy (interim FDG-PET). This article reviews the role of interim FDG-PET in 3 important scenarios: untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, untreated Hodgkin lymphoma, and relapsed or refractory aggressive lymphoma in transplant-eligible patients, and provides recommendations on the use of this imaging modality in these settings.
