Abstract
Infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is one of the most pressing issues facing public health on a worldwide scale. Currently, HIV-related lymphoma is the most common cause of death among people living with HIV, and warrants more attention. The unique challenges associated with HIV-related lymphoma management derive from the underlying HIV infection and its immunosuppressive effects. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has gained significant prominence in the past few years as a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic instrument for the treatment of HIV-related lymphoma. This review will start with an overview of the subtypes, risk factors, and therapeutic choices for individuals with HIV-related lymphoma. We will then briefly discuss the current application of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the medical management of HIV-related lymphoma patients, followed by the initial staging of the disease, the evaluation of therapeutic response, the prediction of prognostic outcomes, the decision-making process for radiotherapy guided by PET findings, and the distinguishing of various diagnoses.
人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染是全球公共卫生面临的最紧迫问题之一。目前,HIV 相关淋巴瘤是导致 HIV 感染者死亡的最常见原因,值得更多关注。与 HIV 相关的淋巴瘤治疗所面临的独特挑战来自于潜在的 HIV 感染及其免疫抑制效应。在过去几年中,18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(18F-FDG PET/CT)作为治疗艾滋病相关淋巴瘤的重要诊断和治疗工具,已获得了极大的重视。本综述将首先概述艾滋病相关淋巴瘤的亚型、风险因素和治疗选择。然后,我们将简要讨论 18F-FDG PET/CT 目前在艾滋病相关淋巴瘤患者医疗管理中的应用,接着讨论疾病的初步分期、治疗反应评估、预后预测、PET 发现指导下的放疗决策过程以及各种诊断的鉴别。
