Prognostic value of imaging markers from 18FDG-PET/CT in paediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

Objective: Identification of imaging prognostic parameters for early therapy personalisation to reduce treatment-related morbidity in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Our aim was to evaluate quantitative markers from baseline 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose PET/CT as prognostic factors for treatment outcomes. Another goal was assessing the prognostic value of Deauville score at interim PET/CT.
