Abstract

Purpose: To explore the correlation between semi-quantitative parameters of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans findings and the clinical features of patients with acute leukemia (AL), as well as to evaluate the clinical utility of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in the management of AL.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 44 patients newly diagnosed with acute leukemia (AL) at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2019 and August 2024.

Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that age at diagnosis of AL (odds ratio [OR]: 0.888, P < 0.01) and percentage of blasts in the peripheral blood (PB) (OR: 1.061, P < 0.05) were independent predictors of the appearance of active extramedullary disease (EMD). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for patients with EMD(+) indicated that those with organ infiltration beyond the lymph nodes experienced markedly reduced overall survival (OS) compared to those without such infiltration (157 days and 806 days, respectively). Furthermore, in the AL subgroup with EMD, the ratio of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in the bone marrow (BM) to SUVmax of the liver emerged as an independent prognostic factor for OS (Hazard ratio [HR]: 2.372; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.079-5.214, P < 0.05).

Conclusion: ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT offers the benefits of being non-invasive and highly sensitive for the thorough evaluation of disease status in patients newly diagnosed with AL. Furthermore, the SUVmax BM/liver ratio is of significant clinical importance for prognosticating outcomes in patients with AL presenting EMD.

期刊介绍： The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology Focuses on translational research Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions. A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients. In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
