Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between lymphoma severity and cardiovascular health, specifically looking at arterial inflammation through FDG uptake in patients with active Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Sixty-two chemotherapy-naïve patients were compared to previously treated lymphoma patients to assess metabolic tumor volume and glycolysis associated with arterial fluoride uptake.
- Results showed significant correlations between disease severity and arterial inflammation, with higher FDG uptake in active lymphoma patients compared to controls, particularly in advanced stages of the disease.
