Prognostic value of baseline FDG-PET/CT-derived quantitative parameters in patients with Peripheral T-cell lymphoma

Conclusion: In present study in a small number of patients neither MTV nor TLG were predictive outcome parameters. Current results do not support recently published scarce literature data regarding the role of quantitative PET/CT parameters in PTCL. In view of these controversial results further studies in a large number of patients are needed to determine whether quantitative functional PET/CT parameters such as MTV and TLG could be used for precise prediction of outcome in patients with PTCL.
