Revisiting the Marrow Metabolic Changes after Chemotherapy in Lymphoma: A Step towards Personalized Care.

Purpose. The aims were to correlate individual marrow metabolic changes after chemotherapy with bone marrow biopsy (BMBx) for its potential value of personalized care in lymphoma. Methods.

Correlating metabolic activity with cellular proliferation in follicular lymphomas.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to correlate metabolic behavior of follicular lymphoma with proliferative index (Ki67).

Materials And Methods: Pre-treatment 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography scans of 23 patients with pathologic diagnosis of follicular lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed together with Ki67. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUV) was measured and corrected to glucose level of 100 mg/dl over the biopsy region (BxSUV100) and at the highest tumor activity of the body (BmSUV100).

Investigating the existence of quantum metabolic values in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography.

Objectives: To investigate the existence of quantum metabolic values in various subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

Methods: Fifty-eight patients with newly diagnosed NHL and positron emission tomography (PET) performed within three months of biopsy were included. The standardized uptake value (SUV) from PET over the area of biopsy and serum glucose [Glc] were recorded.
