A Ukrainian multicenter prospective study of the value of PET/ CT prognostic role in primary patients with Hodgkins lymphoma in a real-life cohort.

Introduction: In recent years, the positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) has changed and the treatment approaches in Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) patients have entirely improved. The main idea in several studies is the use of PET/CT and the International Prognostic Score (IPS) protocols in identification of patients within a high-risk group and potential early relapse/refractory disease.

Materials And Methods: This study was based on PET/CT evaluation and treatment strategies of patients from eight Centers of Hematology in Ukraine.
