Tumor Fragmentation Estimated by the Volume Surface Ratio of Tumors Measured on FDG PET/CT is an Independent Prognostic Factor of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Conclusions: These results show that the volume surface ratio of tumors measured on the initial FDG PET is an independent prognostic factor in DLBCL and has an additional prognostic value when combined with TMTV, IPI score and chemotherapy, while the total tumor surface is highly correlated to TMTV limiting its additional prognostic value.
