Summary: | Purpose
This study evaluated the predictive significance of total metabolic tumour volume (TMTV) measured on baseline FDG PET/CT and its value in addition to gene expression profiling using a new method of gene analysis (rapid reverse transcriptase multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay, RT-MLPA) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like chemotherapies.
Methods
The analysis included 114 patients. TMTV was measured using a 41% SUVmax threshold and tumours were classified into GCB or ABC subtypes according to the RT-MLPA assay.
Results
The median follow-up was 40 months. the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 54% and the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 62%. The optimal TMTV cut-off value was 261 cm
