A picture is worth a thousand words: a history of diagnostic imaging for lymphoma.

The journey from early drawings of Thomas Hodgkin's patients to deep learning with radiomics in lymphoma has taken nearly 200 years, and in many ways, it parallels the journey of medicine. By tracing the history of imaging in clinical lymphoma practice, we can better understand the motivations for current imaging practices. The earliest imaging modalities of the 2D era each had varied, site-dependent sensitivity, and the improved accuracy of imaging studies allowed new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.

Risk-adapted dose-dense immunochemotherapy determined by interim FDG-PET in Advanced-stage diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma.

PURPOSE In studies of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, positron emission tomography with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) performed after two to four cycles of chemotherapy has demonstrated prognostic significance. However, some patients treated with immunochemotherapy experience a favorable long-term outcome despite a positive interim FDG-PET scan. To clarify the significance of interim FDG-PET scans, we prospectively studied interim FDG-positive disease within a risk-adapted sequential immunochemotherapy program.

Feasibility trial of letrozole in combination with bevacizumab in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Purpose: Preclinical models suggest that the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy with antiestrogens may prevent or delay the development of endocrine therapy resistance. We therefore performed a feasibility study to evaluate the safety of letrozole plus bevacizumab in patients with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Methods: Patients with locally advanced breast cancer or MBC were treated with the aromatase inhibitor (AI) letrozole (2.

A phase II trial of erlotinib in combination with bevacizumab in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of erlotinib plus bevacizumab in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/HER1) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway.

Experimental Design: Thirty-eight patients with MBC were enrolled and treated at two institutions with erlotinib, a small molecule EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (150 mg p.o.

False-positive findings on 18F-FDG PET/CT: differentiation of hibernoma and malignant fatty tumor on the basis of fluctuating standardized uptake values.

Objective: Hibernoma is a benign tumor of brown fat that has imaging features similar to those of malignant fat-containing soft-tissue tumors. Hibernoma is metabolically active on (18)F-FDG PET/CT, and its presence can lead to false-positive interpretations. We present three cases in which fatty lesions with increased radiotracer uptake identified on FDG PET/CT turned out to be hibernomas.
