Utility of baseline, interim and end-of-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma patients treated with L-asparaginase/pegaspargase.


ABSTRACT: Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely used for initial staging and monitoring treatment responses in Hodgkin and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. However, its prognostic value in extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) remains unclear. Here, we conducted a retrospective study to determine the impact of PET/CT in ENKL. Fifty-two patients newly diagnosed with ENKL were enrolled. Baseline maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax), whole-body metabolic tumor volume (WBMTV) and whole-body total lesion glycolysis (WBTLG) were recorded. Additionally, interim PET/CT (I-PET) and end-of-treatment PET/CT (E-PET) results were scored using a 5-point scale. Patients were divided into groups using baseline parameter cut-off values; significant differences were found in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between the high and low WBMTV and WBTLG groups and in OS between the two SUVmax groups. Positive I-PET and E-PET results predicted inferior PFS and OS. A multivariate analysis showed that baseline WBTLG, I-PET and E-PET results were associated with PFS and OS, and baseline SUVmax was an independent predictor of OS. Thus, baseline WBTLG, I-PET and E-PET results are good predictors of PFS and OS in ENKL patients who received L-asparaginase/pegaspargase in their first-line treatment, and baseline SUVmax is a valuable tool for assessing OS.
