Prognostic Value of FDG PET/CT in Patients with Nodal Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma.
Diagnostics 2023 September 2
This study evaluated the prognostic significance of FDG PET/CT in patients with nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). We retrospectively reviewed patients with histologically confirmed nodal PTCL who underwent FDG PET/CT at baseline, after three cycles of first-line chemotherapy (interim), and at the end of therapy. Response was assessed visually using the Deauville 5-point scale (D5PS); scores of 1, 2, and 3 were considered PET-negative, and scores of 4 and 5 were considered PET-positive. The associations between FDG PET/CT findings and survival were assessed using Cox regression analysis. A total of 79 patients (44 males and 35 females; median age 56 years) were included in this study. In response assessment, 17 (22%) had an interim PET-positive result and 10 (13%) had an end-of-therapy PET-positive result. During a median follow-up of 50 months, 37 patients (47%) presented with disease progression and 30 patients (38%) died. The estimated 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 57% and 64%, respectively. An interim PET-positive result was the only significant indicator of PFS. Higher International Prognostic Index and end-of-therapy PET-positive result were significant independent prognostic factors of OS. Interim and end-of-therapy FDG PET/CT responses based on D5PS are meaningful in predicting the outcomes of patients with nodal PTCL.
