Prognostic role of baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in elderly HL: a two-center experience in 123 patients

Elderly Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an aggressive lymphoma subgroup with high 18F-FDG avidity at 18F-FDG-PET/CT but no shared criteria for PET/CT in treatment evaluation and prediction of outcome are available. The aim of our bicentric study was to investigate whether the metabolic baseline PET/CT parameters can predict treatment response and prognosis in elderly HL. We retrospectively included 123 patients who underwent baseline 18F-FDG-PET/CT and...
