Myocardial Metabolic Response Predicts Chemotherapy Curative Potential on Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Proof-of-Concept Study

Genome sharing between cancer and normal tissues might imply a similar susceptibility to chemotherapy toxicity. The present study aimed to investigate whether curative potential of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) is predicted by the metabolic response of normal tissues in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). METHODS: According to current guidelines, 86 patients with advanced-stage (IIB-IVB) HL, prospectively enrolled...
