A 4 or 5 Deauville score assessed by (18)F-FDG-PET CT early post-allotransplant is highly predictive of relapse in lymphoma patients

The impact of early Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) status on survival after allogeneic transplantation for lymphoma is poorly reported.This retrospective study included all adult Hodgkin (HL) or non-Hodgkin (NHL) lymphoma patients (>18 years old) who benefited from FDG PET-CT before (within 1 month) and/or early (+3 months and within +6-9 months) after Allo-SCT in our institution between 2005 and 2015 and who were still without documented progression nor relapse at the time of the FDG PET-CT.
