The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of baseline maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), whole body SUVmax (WBSUVmax), whole body metabolic tumor volume (WBMTV) and whole body total lesion glycolysis (WBTLG) in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Eighty patients with PTCL who underwent pretreatment F-PET/CT were enrolled in this study. WBMTV and WBTLG were computed by using the margin threshold of SUV>3.0. WBSUVmax was obtained by summing of SUVmax of the whole-body SUVmax of 11 nodal and 10 extra-nodal lesions. : Median SUVmax was 13.8 (range, 4.6-35.5), median WBSUVmax was 24.6 (range, 4.6-153.4), median WBMTV was 149 cm (range, 4-4545 cm) and median WBTLG was 1017 (range, 16.5-23739). Six patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK positive were excluded in the following statistical analysis for their unique pathological types and good prognosis. The receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis showed that the optimal cut-off values of WBSUVmax, WBMTV and WBTLG with overall survival (OS) were 22.2, 169.5 cm and 746.1, respectively. Patients with high WBSUVmax, WBMTV and WBTLG had a poor prognosis. WBSUVmax, WBMTV and WBTLG were associated with international prognostic index (IPI) and prognostic index for T-cell lymphoma (PIT). In multivariate analysis, WBTLG and PIT were independent prognostic factors of both progression free survival (PFS) and OS. : Our study shows that high WBTLG, WBMTV and WBSUVmax could predict a relatively poor prognosis, and has a highly significant association with PIT and IPI.WBTLG could be an independent predictive factor for survival outcomes in patients with PTCL.

Background: Identifying reliable prognostic indicators can aid in improving patient care. The aim of this study was to establish the association of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) whole-body metabolic parameters, serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) with overall survival (OS) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) after surgery combined with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Methods: From May 2014 to May 2019, a total of 79 patients with EOC who underwent posttreatment F-FDG PET/CT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were included.

Validation of Convolutional Neural Networks for Fast Determination of Whole-Body Metabolic Tumor Burden in Pediatric Lymphoma.

F-FDG PET/CT quantification of whole-body tumor burden in lymphoma is not routinely performed because of the lack of fast methods. Although the semiautomatic method is fast, it is not fast enough to quantify tumor burden in daily clinical practice. Our purpose was to evaluate the performance of convolutional neural network (CNN) software in localizing neoplastic lesions in whole-body F-FDG PET/CT images of pediatric lymphoma patients.

The goal of this study was to investigate the value of CT-textural features and volume-based PET parameters in comparison to serologic markers for response prediction in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing cluster of differentiation (CD19)-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. We retrospectively analyzed the whole-body (WB)-metabolic tumor volume (MTV), the WB-total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and first order textural features derived from 18F-FDG-PET/CT, as well as serologic parameters (C-reactive protein [CRP] and lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], leucocytes) prior and after CAR-T cell therapy in 21 patients with DLBCL (57.7 ± 14.

Objective: To explore the whole-body metabolic tumour volume (WBMTV), whole-body total lesion glycolysis (WBTLG) and tumour whole-body maximum standardised uptake value (WBSUVmax) of post-treatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in predicting the overall survival (OS) in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Methods: The clinical data of 74 patients with cervical SCC who received 18F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively analysed. WBMTV, WBTLG and WBSUVmax, as well as the serum SCC-Ag level, were measured.

Objective: To determine whether the whole-body tumor burden, as quantified by F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT), is a prognostic indicator in advanced (stage III or IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective study in which we evaluated F-FDG PET/CT staging parameters to quantify tumor burdens in patients with stage III or IV NSCLC. The following parameters were evaluated for the whole body (including the primary tumor) and for the primary tumor alone, respectively: maximum standardized uptake volume (wbSUV and tuSUV); metabolic tumor volume (wbMTV and tuMTV); and total lesion glycolysis (wbTLG and tuTLG).
