Interim PET/CT Result Is Not Predictive of Survival in Patients With MYC-rearranged Non –Burkitt Aggressive B-cell Lymphoma

Non –Burkitt B-cell lymphoma with a rearrangement of MYC is an aggressive lymphoma that can fail initial treatment. We reviewed the data from 28 patients and investigated whether the mid-treatment positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan could predict treatment failure. The results of that PET/CT scan did not predict in which patients the initial treatment would fail. Therefore, it should not be used to guide treatment decisions in this population.
