Prognostic Value of Baseline Tumor Burden and Tumor Dissemination Extracted From 18 F-FDG PET/CT in a Cohort of Adult Patients With Early or Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Purpose: We aimed to assess the prognostic value of baseline tumor burden and dissemination parameters extracted from 18 F-FDG PET/CT in patients with early or advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treated with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) or escalated BEACOPP (increased bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone).

Patients And Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with classical Hodgkin lymphoma were retrospectively included. Progression-free survival (PFS) analysis of dichotomized clinicobiological and PET/CT parameters (SUV max , TMTV, TLG, D max , and D bulk ) was performed.

[The history of Hodgkin lymphoma].

THE HISTORY OF HODGKIN LYMPHOMA. Hodgkin lymphoma was initially considered to be caused by infectious agents. The Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg tumor cells are derived from mature B cells and transforming events were identified.

Work and education interruption in long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivors: an analysis among patients from nine EORTC-LYSA trials.

Background: Disease-specific studies on the impact of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) on education or work interruption and resumption are lacking.

Material And Methods: In a cross-sectional study conducted among long-term HL survivors enrolled from 1964 to 2004 in nine randomised EORTC-LYSA trials, the interruption and resumption of education/work was investigated. Survivors alive 5-44 years after diagnosis who were studying or working at time of diagnosis were included ( = 1646).

Dissemination patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma using a probability network model based on [F]-FDG PET/CT.

Purpose: The preferred hypothesis for the dissemination patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is the contiguity hypothesis. However, this hypothesis is based on studies performed before the advent of [F]-FDG PET/CT which is now the established reference for HL staging. This study aims to extract the dissemination patterns of HL using [F]-FDG PET/CT and a probability network model.
