The Incremental Prognostic Value of Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging in Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Methods:From January 2010 to October 2019, a total of 23 patients who pathologically confirmed to have AITL were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scan before chemotherapy. The 18F-FDG PET/CT features, clinical data, laboratory indicators, Ki67 labeling index, and survival status were collected and analyzed. Results:The median follow-up was 22 months. The expected 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rate was 72.2%, 49.6%, and 42.5%, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) was 23 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 8.459~37.541). AITL is prone to extranodal infiltration, in addition to nodal infiltration (6 patients had nodal infiltration alone, and 17 patients had both nodal and extranodal infiltration). The SUVmax of nodal lesions were higher than that for the extranodal lesions (10.43 ± 4.45, 6.64 ± 3.51, F = 2.78, t = 4.39, P < 0.01). On multivariate survival analysis, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and SUVmax of extranodal lesions were independent predictors of OS. Conclusion:Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT results and SUVmax of extranodal lesions showed an incremental prognostic value in addition to clinical prognostic factors.

Project description:Purpose:In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the metabolic parameters on baseline 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) could be used to predict prognosis in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL). Methods:A total of 51 nodal PTCL patients who underwent baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively evaluated in the present study. Total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were also assessed. Besides, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI) was also included. Log-rank test and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results:The median follow-up was 18 months. Patients with low TLG, TMTV, and SUVmax levels had a significantly better clinical outcome than those with high TLG, TMTV, and SUVmax levels. The 2-year PFS rates of the high- and low-TMTV groups were 34.62% and 80%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (n = 10), intermediate-risk group with TMTV > 62.405 or NCCN-IPI score of 4-8 (2-year PFS and OS were 52.4% and 66.7%, respectively, n = 10), intermediate-risk group with TMTV > 62.405 or NCCN-IPI score of 4-8 (2-year PFS and OS were 52.4% and 66.7%, respectively, n = 10), intermediate-risk group with TMTV > 62.405 or NCCN-IPI score of 4-8 (2-year PFS and OS were 52.4% and 66.7%, respectively. Conclusions:Baseline TMTV and TLG were independent predictors of PFS and OS in PTCL patients, and SUVmax and NCCN-IPI scores were also independent predictors of OS. Moreover, the combination of TMTV and NCCN-IPI scores improved patient risk-stratification at the initial stage and might contribute to the adjustment of the therapeutic regime. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1900025526.

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the clinical significance of increased fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake on PET/CT in joints for evaluation of symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) and prediction of progression.Patients and methodsIn this prospective study, shoulder, hip, and knee joints were imaged in 65 patients undergoing routine F-FDG PET/CT imaging. Patients completed the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire to assess joint pain, stiffness, and physical function. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) were measured in hip, knee, acromioclavicular (AC), and glenohumeral (GH) joints. Scout PET/CT images were evaluated for OA using the Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) system. Patients were followed-up for 5 years to determine the progression of OA on the basis of follow-up imaging or surgical intervention.ResultsSUV of knee (r=0.309, P=0.0003), hip (r=0.260, P=0.0027), AC (r=0.186, P=0.0313), and GH (r=0.191, P=0.0271) joints correlated with WOMAC overall scores. Furthermore, SUV of knee (r=0.410, P<0.0001), hip (r=0.203, P=0.0199), and AC (r=0.364, P<0.0001) joints correlated with K/L scores. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for SUV were 0.734 (knee), 0.678 (hip), 0.661 (AC), and 0.544 (GH) for symptomatic OA detection based on WOMAC overall z-score greater or equal to 2. Compared with K/L score [hazard ratio (HR)=0.798, P=0.5324], age (HR=0.992, P=0.8978), and WOMAC overall score (HR=1.089, P=0.1265), only SUV (HR=5.653, P=0.0229) was an independent predictor of OA progression in the knees.ConclusionF-FDG PET/CT may be helpful with localization of painful abnormalities in the inflamed regions of the joints, which could potentially be used to direct individualized treatment in moderate and severe OA. Furthermore, SUV measurement on F-FDG PET/CT could serve as an inflammation activity index in the knees that may be predictive of outcomes and progression rate of OA.

Project description:At present, 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) cannot be used to omit a bone marrow biopsy (BMB) among initial staging procedures in follicular lymphoma (FL). The additional diagnostic value of skeletal textural features on baseline 18FDG-PET/CT in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients has given promising results. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of 18FDG-PET/CT radiomics for the diagnosis of bone marrow involvement (BMI) in FL patients. This retrospective bicentric study enrolled newly diagnosed FL patients addressed for baseline 18FDG PET/CT. For visual assessment, examinations were considered positive in cases of obvious bone focal uptakes. For textural analysis, the skeleton volumes of interest (VOIs) were automatically extracted from segmented CT images and analysed using LifeX software. BMB and visual assessment were taken as the gold standard: BMB -/PET - patients were considered as bone-NEGATIVE patients, whereas BMB +/PET -, BMB -/PET + and BMB +/PET + patients were considered bone-POSITIVE patients. A LASSO regression algorithm was used to select features of interest and to build a prediction model. Sixty-six consecutive patients were included: 36 bone-NEGATIVE (54.5%) and 30 bone-POSITIVE (45.5%). The LASSO regression found variance_GLCM, correlation_GLCM, joint entropy_GLCM and busyness_NGLDM to have nonzero regression coefficients. Based on ROC analysis, a cut-off equal to - 0.190 was found to be optimal for the diagnosis of BMI using PET pred.score. The corresponding sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV values were equal to 70.0%, 83.3%, 77.8% and 76.9%, respectively. When comparing the ROC AUCs with using BMB alone, visual PET assessment or PET pred.score, a significant difference was found between BMB versus visual PET assessments (p = 0.010) but not between BMB and PET pred.score assessments (p = 0.097). Skeleton texture analysis is worth exploring to improve the performance of 18FDG-PET/CT for the diagnosis of BMI at baseline in FL patients.
