Role of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging in the Prediction of Prognosis in Patients With Indolent Lymphoma: Prospective Study.

Background: The role of fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in indolent lymphoma has been minimally studied.

Objective: This study aims to assess the value of FDG-PET/CT in predicting the prognosis of indolent lymphoma.

Methods: We prospectively recruited 42 patients with indolent lymphoma.

Prolonged Survival of a Patient with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Accelerated Phase with Recurrent Isolated Central Nervous System Blast Crisis.

BACKGROUND Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is usually a tri-phasic myeloproliferative neoplasm, characterized by the presence of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, derived from a balanced translocation, t(9;22)(q34;q11). BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are used to treat patients with CML. The addition of pegylated interferon-alpha2b to imatinib or dasatinib results in promising deep molecular responses.
