Prognostic Value of Bone Marrow F-18 FDG Uptake in Patients with Advanced-Stage Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

ConclusionWe showed that BM FDG-positive predicted a poorer survival in patients with advanced stage DBLCL. We also found that BMB-negative and BM FDG-positive patients had similar PFS or OS to BMB-positive and BM FDG-negative patients. Further study in a larger population is needed to clarify clinical significance of BM FDG in these patients.
