Prognostic value of quantitative parameters based on pretreatment positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with newly diagnosed T cell lymphoma

Conclusions: Standard PET/CT quantitative parameters, such as SUVmax, as well as newer measures of metabolic tumor burden, WBMTV41 and WBTLG41, were not correlated with outcome in our study population of newly diagnosed T and NK cell lymphomas. Larger studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm these results. Keywords T cell lymphomas, PET/CT, Maximum standardized uptake value, Metabolic tumor burden, Prognosis
