ABSTRACT: Abstract from the associated publication: Although PET allows an accurate staging of disease in follicular lymphoma (FL) patients, the impact of pre-treatment maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) value in this population remains elusive as well as its real biological significance. A training cohort of 48 FL patients and a validation cohort of 84 patients unpreviously treated were included retrospectively. SUVmax of 18-FDG PET was evaluated by centrally expert review and the optimum threshold of SUVmax value was determined in the training cohort to predict progression free survival (PFS). To explore the biologic meaning of PET results, tumor samples were analyzed from the two cohorts independantly :- the tumor microenvironment immune cartography by immunochemistry , - the cell gene-expression profiles assessed using Sample enrichment score combined to CIBERSORT method and - the tumor cell mutational profile determined by targeted Next Generation Sequencing (t-NGS). At baseline, patients with a SUVmax >14.5 had a significantly lower PFS compared to patients with SUVmax ≤14.5 (2y PFS: 40% vs 86%, HR = 0.16, p = 0.0009). The prognostic value of SUVmax was confirmed in the validation cohort (p= 0.006). Neither immune cell infiltration nor immune checkpoint expression were related to the baseline PET metrics including SUVmax. By constrast, high tumor cell proliferation (assessed by Ki67 staining) was significantly related to high SUVmax level ( p= 0.007). Interestingly FOXO1 mutated patients harbored high SUVmax and high tumor proliferation, that is why FOXO1 status could reflect to proliferation of FL tumor cells through SUVmax and Ki67 staining. So, FL patients with high baseline SUVmax related to high tumor cell proliferation have a poorer PFS despite absence of lymphoma transformation.
