Post Treatment Complete Metabolic Remission By 18f-FDG PET/CT As a Strong Prognostic Predictor of Survival in Large B-Cell Lymphomas

ConclusionWhile IPI is the most widely used prognostic predictor in LBCLs, there are limited data regarding the predictive value of post treatment PET/CT scans. We found that achievement of CMR at end of treatment was a very strong predictor of OS and PFS in our cohort compared to standard international prognostic parameters.To characterize the most important individual IPI parameters affected post treatment CMR and indirectly predicting OS and PFS, we found that extranodal involvement and LDH level were the most significant factors affecting CMR achievement.Figure.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
