Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with poor prognosis. The usefulness of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18F]FDG PET/CT) and its parameters in the evaluation of treatment response and prognosis is not yet clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of tumor burden and tumor dissemination features derived by 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT in advanced MCL. We retrospectively included 120 patients with advanced MCL who underwent baseline 2- 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT and end-of-treatment (eot) PET/CT. The baseline-PET images were analyzed visually and semi-quantitatively by measuring the maximum standardized uptake value body weight (SUVbw), lean body mass (SUVlbm), body surface area (SUVbsa), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and dissemination features (Dmax and Dmax-bsa). EotPET/CT was judged according to the Lugano classification. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were plotted according to the Kaplan–Meier method. At a median follow-up of 59 months, relapse/progression occurred in 68 patients while death in 38 patients with a median PFS and OS of 27.2 and 57.6 months, respectively. MIPI score, Bulky disease, Ki-67 index, metabolic response, pretreatment MTV and TLG were significantly associated with PFS at univariate analysis, but only metabolic response, MTV and TLG were confirmed to be independent prognostic factors. Considering OS, only dissemination features were demonstrated to be prognostic features. In conclusions, metabolic response and metabolic tumor burden parameters (MTV and TLG) are strongest predictor of PFS, while dissemination features may have a significant role for predicting OS.
期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
