Combination of baseline FDG PET/CT total metabolic tumour volume and gene expression profile have a robust predictive value in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

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 as...

Description
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 3 . In 59 patients with a high TMTV the 5-year PFS and OS were 37% and 39%, respectively, in comparison with 72% and 83%, respectively, in 55 patients with a low TMTV ( p  = 0.0002 for PFS, p
