Objective: To compare 3T and 1.5T Whole Body Diffusion Weighted MRI (WB-DW-MRI) in patients at initial diagnosis of lymphoma.
Methods: Twenty-three patients were included. We performed a 3.0T and 1.5T WB-DW-MRI with 18 F-Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography (PET-CT) as the reference standard. Image quality, lymph node, organ involvement, and Ann Arbor staging were evaluated.
Results: Major artifacts were found in 2/23 patients at 3.0T. Concordance was excellent between 1.5T and 3T for nodal (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (CCI)=0.995), organ involvement (CCI=0.990), and Ann Arbor stages (k=0.967).
Conclusion: A 3T WB-DW-MRI yields accurate assessment and staging of lymphoma comparable to 1.5T.

Survival disparities among Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the United States.

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the seventh most common cancer among Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (ANHPIs), yet the risk of death in specific ANHPI subgroups in the US is unknown.
Methods: We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data to investigate relative survival and the risk of death among NHL patients in ANHPI subgroups. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI), comparing ANHPI subgroups to non-Hispanic White (NHW) NHL patients for all-cause death and NHL-specific death.

: This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) using bone marrow biopsy (BMB) and clinical follow-up as reference standards. It further identifies predictive factors for bone marrow involvement (BMI) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. : NHL patients who underwent [F]FDG PET and BMB at diagnosis in a tertiary cancer center were included in this study.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare malignancy, with an indolent course in the early stages of the disease. However, due to major molecular and clinical heterogeneity, patients at an advanced stage of the disease have variable responses to treatment and considerably reduced life expectancy. Today, there is a lack of specific markers for the progression from early to advanced stages of the disease.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a common malignancy among women of reproductive age. Some pregnancies occur during oncological treatments or diagnostic follow-ups, often involving contraindicated procedures. HL is fluorodeoxyglucose-avid; therefore, its staging is generally performed with F-FDG PET/CT, a diagnostic method contraindicated during pregnancy.

: In this single-center retrospective study, we aimed to verify the extent of duodenal follicular lymphoma (DFL) and investigate the role and clinical significance of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) in the treatment process. : We analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 40 patients diagnosed with DFL. : Imaging workup and bone marrow biopsies revealed DFL only in the gastrointestinal tract (stage I) in 22 patients and in local lymph nodes (stage II), distant lymph nodes (stage II), pancreas (stage IIE), and extranodal regions (stage IV) in 1, 3, 1, and 13 patients, respectively.
