Metabolic tumor volume predicts outcome in patients with advanced stage follicular lymphoma from the RELEVANCE trial. Ann Oncol 2024; 35:130-137. [PMID: 37898239 DOI: 10.1016/j.annonc.2023.10.121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the prognostic value of baseline positron emission tomography (PET) parameters for patients with treatment-naïve follicular lymphoma (FL) in the phase III RELEVANCE trial, comparing the immunomodulatory combination of lenalidomide and rituximab (R2) versus R-chemotherapy (R-chemo), with both regimens followed by R maintenance therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Baseline characteristics of the entire PET-evaluable population (n = 406/1032) were well balanced between treatment arms. The maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) and the standardized maximal distance between tow lesions (SDmax) were extracted, the standardized distance between two lesions the furthest apart, were extracted. The total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) was computed using the 41% SUVmax method. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 6.5 years, the 6-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 57.8%, the median TMTV was 284 cm3, SUVmax was 11.3 and SDmax was 0.32 m-1, with no significant difference between arms. High TMTV (>510 cm3) and FLIPI were associated with an inferior PFS (P = 0.013 and P = 0.006, respectively), whereas SUVmax and SDmax were not (P = 0.08 and P = 0.12, respectively). In multivariable analysis, follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) and TMTV remained significantly associated with PFS (P = 0.0119 and P = 0.0379, respectively). These two adverse factors combined stratified the overall population into three risk groups: patients with no risk factors (40%), with one factor (44%), or with both (16%), with a 6-year PFS of 67.7%, 54.5%, and 41.0%, respectively. No significant interaction between treatment arms and TMTV or FLIPI (P = 0.31 or P = 0.59, respectively) was observed. The high-risk group (high TMTV and FLIPI 3-5) had a similar PFS in both arms (P = 0.45) with a median PFS of 68.4% in the R-chemo arm versus 71.4% in the R2 arm. CONCLUSIONS Baseline TMTV is predictive of PFS, independently of FLIPI, in patients with advanced FL even in the context of antibody maintenance.

A retrospective head-to-head comparison of the Lugano classification and PERCIST for FDG-PET/CT response assessment in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Clin Physiol Funct Imaging 2024; 44:70-78. [PMID: 37501554 DOI: 10.1111/cpf.12851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of lymphoma. European guidelines recommend FDG-PET/CT for staging and end of treatment (EOT) response assessment, mid-treatment response assessment is optional. We compared the Lugano classification and PET Response Criteria In Solid Tumours (PERCIST) for FDG-PET/CT response assessment in DLBCL head-to-head. METHODS We retrospectively included patients with DLBCL who underwent first-line R-CHOP(-like) therapy (2013-2020). Interim and EOT FDG-PET/CT response were reevaluated using the Lugano classification and PERCIST. Response was dichotomized into complete metabolic response (CMR) versus non-CMR (interim and EOT) and responders versus nonresponders (interim only). The cutoff for nonresponse at interim was a Deauville score of 5 (DS5) with the Lugano classification and a partial metabolic response with ≤66% reduction in SULpeak using PERCIST (PERCIST66). RESULTS In multivariable Cox regression (N = 170), DS5 at interim, PERCIST66 at interim, non-CMR at EOT with the Lugano classification and non-CMR at EOT with PERCIST were predictive of progression-free survival (PFS). The Lugano classification and PERCIST agreed perfectly at interim and EOT and with 98.4% for the identification of nonresponders at interim. The accuracy for predicting events within 2 years of diagnosis was 84.2% for DS-5 at interim, 87.6% for PERCIST66 at interim, 86% for non-CMR with the Lugano classification at EOT and 83.3% for non-CMR with PERCIST at EOT. CONCLUSION The Lugano classification and PERCIST were equally predictive of PFS. Nonresponse at interim and non-CMR at EOT were predictive of poor PFS with comparable accuracy for predicting events within 2 years.

Acad Radiol 2023:S1076-6332(23)00691-8. [PMID: 38155023 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES In oncological imaging, the use of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) for further prognostic differentiation and the development of risk adapted strategies appears promising. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate ultra-high definition (UHD) and ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) PET/CT reconstructions for their potential impact on different methods of MTV measurement. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) scans of 40 Hodgkin lymphoma patients before first-line treatment who had undergone fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT. The MTVs were determined taking an SUV of 4.0 (MTV4.0) as a fixed threshold or 41% of the single hottest voxel (MTV41%) as an adaptive threshold for automated lymphoma delineation in both UHD and OSEM reconstructions. We then compared the absolute and relative differences between MTV4.0 and MTV41% in UHD and OSEM reconstructions. The relative distribution of MTV4.0 and MTV41% in relation to the reconstruction method applied was recorded and respective differences were tested for statistical significance using the paired sample t-test. RESULTS A comparison of MTV4.0 and MTV41% showed smaller relative and absolute differences in MTV between different reconstruction settings for the MTV4.0 method. Conversely, the absolute as well as the relative differences between MTVs obtained from different reconstructions settings were significantly greater when the MTV41% method was applied (p < 0001). CONCLUSION MTV4.0 brings higher robustness between different reconstruction settings, while with MTV41% the deviation between volumes obtained with different reconstruction settings is greater. For clinical routine and for multicenter settings, the MTV4.0 therefore appears most promising.

Impact of cumulative dose of brentuximab vedotin on outcomes of frontline therapy for advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma. Blood Adv 2023; 7:7485-7493.

Abstract
In the pivotal study ECHELON-1, brentuximab vedotin (BV), doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A + AVD) demonstrated superior efficacy compared with bleomycin + AVD for the treatment of advanced-stage classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). However, there are minimal available data regarding the frequency of dose reductions or omission of BV during curative therapy and the potential impact on patient outcomes. In a real-world analysis, we retrospectively reviewed the characteristics and outcomes of 179 patients with stage III or IV cHL treated with frontline A + AVD from January 2010 to April 2022. Treatment consisted of up to 1.2 mg/kg of BV and standard dose AVD IV on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles. At the time of treatment, the median patient age was 37 years, and a high-risk International Prognostic Score was observed in 46% of patients. Overall, 91% of patients received 6 cycles of AVD; 55% of patients did not receive the intended cumulative dose of BV (CDB); 28% of patients received two-thirds or less than the planned CDB. At a median follow-up time of 27.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 24.8-29), the median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached, and the 12-month PFS was 90.3% (95% CI, 85.9-95.0). The impact of CDB on PFS was not significant (P = .15), nor was high CDB significantly associated with increased adverse events. In real-world experience, A + AVD is a highly effective treatment for patients with advanced-stage cHL, including for patients with prominent dose reductions of BV.

Abstract
In the last decade, anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy has led to a treatment paradigm shift for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, first with the approval for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphomas and subsequently for R/R mantle cell and follicular lymphoma. Many efforts are continuously being made to extend the therapeutic setting in the lymphoma field. Several reports are supporting the safety and efficacy of CAR-T cells in patients with central nervous system disease involvement. Anti-CD30 CAR-T cells for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma are in development and early studies looking for the optimal target for T-cell malignancies are ongoing. Anti-CD19/CD20 and CD19/CD22 dual targeting CAR-T cells are under investigation in order to increase anti-lymphoma activity and overcome tumor immune escape. Allogeneic CAR product engineering is on the way, representing a rapidly accessible 'off-the-shelf' and potentially more fit product. In the present manuscript, we will focus on recent advances in CAR-T cell therapy for lymphomas, including new settings and future perspectives in the field, reviewing data reported in literature in the last decade up to October 2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is paucity of data regarding outcomes of children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). METHODS Patients aged 0-39 years undergoing first ASCT for NHL at MD Anderson Cancer Center between 2000 and 2020 were analyzed. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-one patients were included in the analysis, 129 (58%) were male and the median age was 32 (range 6-39) years. The most common histological subtypes were diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (44%), T-NHL (19%) and primary mediastinal B-Cell lymphoma (PMBCL) (19%). Younger patients (age ≤ 25) had lower incidence of DLBCL and higher incidence of PMBCL and T-NHL compared to older patients (age > 25) (P = 0.02). None of the younger patients had double hit (DH)/double expressor (DE) DLBCL, compared to 14 patients in the older age group (18%, P = 0.07). Considering the three main aggressive NHL subtypes (DLBCL, PMBCL and T-NHL), younger patients had numerically better 15-year post-transplant progression free survival (PFS) (67% vs. 54%) and overall survival (OS) (71% vs. 62%) compared to older patients, yet these differences did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.19 and P = 0.24, respectively). In multivariate analysis, not achieving a CR prior to ASCT was independently predictive of worse PFS [partial remission (PR) (HR, 3.9); stable disease (SD) (HR, 18.0), P = 0.03] and of worse OS [PR (HR, 4.2), SD (HR, 6.5) and progressive disease (HR, 4.7), P < 0.0001]. DH/DE status was an independent adverse predictor of PFS in multivariate analysis (HR 5.8, p = 0.03). Ten patients (4.5%) (all aged > 25 years) developed second primary malignancies (SPM), at a median of 34.4 (range, 1.0-196.6) months after ASCT, and SPM was the cause of death in five (50%) of them. CONCLUSIONS CAYA NHL patients aged ≤ 25 years who received ASCT presented a distinct NHL histology as compared to older CAYA patients, and none in this younger age group had DH/DE DLBCL. We observed a trend towards improved PFS and OS in younger patients. Disease status at ASCT was predictive of both PFS and OS. DH/DE status was an adverse predictor of PFS.

Abstract
Cancer remains a threat to human health. However, if tumors can be detected in the early stage, then the effectiveness of cancer treatment could be significantly improved. Therefore, it is worthwhile to develop more sensitive and accurate cancer diagnostic methods. Herein, we demonstrated an azo reductase (AzoR)-activated magnetic resonance tuning (MRET) probe with a "switch-on" property for specific and sensitive tumor imaging in vivo. Specifically, Gd-labeled DNA1 (DNA1-Gd) and cyclodextrin-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNP-CD) were employed as enhancer and quencher of MRET, respectively, while DNA2, an azobenzene (Azo) group-modified aptamer (AS1411), served as a linker between enhancer and quencher to construct the MRET probe of MNP@DNA(1-2)-Gd. In tumor tissues with high-level AzoR, the T1-weighted magnetic resonance signal of the MRET probe could be restored by intelligently regulating the switch from "OFF" to "ON" after activation with AzoR, thus accurately indicating the location of the tumor accurately. Moreover, the tumor with a 4 times smaller size than that of the normal tumor model could be imaged based on the proposed MRET probe. The as-proposed MRET-based magnetic resonance imaging strategy not only achieves tumor imaging accurately but also shows promise for early diagnosis of tumors, which might improve patients' survival rates and provide an opportunity for image-guided biomedical applications in the future.

Lancet Haematol 2023; 10:e966-e975. [PMID: 37922925 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3026(23)00279-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with newly diagnosed high-risk Burkitt lymphoma are treated with high-intensity immune-chemotherapy regimens such as R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC or with lower-intensity regimens such as DA-EPOCH-R. The aim of this study was to make a formal comparison between these regimens. METHODS This multicentre, phase 3, open-label, randomised study was done in 26 clinical centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland. Eligible patients were aged 18-75 years with newly diagnosed high-risk Burkitt lymphoma without CNS involvement. Patients were randomly assigned to two cycles of R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC (R-CODOX-M: rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1 and 9, cyclophosphamide 800 mg/m2 on day 1, cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m2 on days 2-5, vincristine 1·5 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, doxorubicin 40 mg/m2 on day 1, and methotrexate 3000 mg/m2 on day 10; R-IVAC: rituximab 375 mg/m2 on days 3 and 7, iphosphamide 1500 mg/m2 on days 1-5, etoposide 60 mg/m2 on days 1-5, and cytarabin 2000 mg/m2 on day 1 and 2) or six cycles of DA-EPOCH-R (dose-adjusted etoposide 50-124 mg/m2 on days 1-4, prednisolone 120 mg/m2 on days 1-5, vincristine 0·4 mg/m2 on days 1-4, dose-adjusted cyclophosphamide 480-1866 mg/m2 on day 5, dose-adjusted doxorubicin 10-24·8 mg/m2 on days 1-4, rituximab 375 mg/m2 on days 1 and 5). Patients older than 65 years received a dose modified R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC. All drugs were intravenous except for prednisolone, which was oral. Patients also received four intrathecal CNS administrations with cytarabin (70 mg) and four with methotrexate (15 mg). Patients were stratified by centre, leukemic disease, and HIV-positivity. The primary endpoint was progression-fee survival. All analyses were done by modified intention-to-treat, excluding randomly assigned patients who were subsequently found to have CNS involvement or diagnosis other than Burkitt lymphoma at study entry. This study is registered with the European Clinical Trial Register, EudraCT2013-004394-27. FINDINGS Due to a slow accrual, the study was closed prematurely on Nov 15, 2021. Between Aug 4, 2014, and Sept 17, 2021, 89 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC (n=46) or DA-EPOCH-R (n=43). Five patients were excluded after random assignment (three in the R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC group [one diagnosis other than Burkitt lymphoma at study entry according to local pathology and two CNS involvement] and two in the DA-EPOCH-R group [one diagnosis other than Burkitt lymphoma at study entry according to local pathology and one CNS involvement]. 84 remaining patients were included in the modified intention-to-treat analysis. 73 (87%) of 84 patients were male, 76 (90%) presented with stage III or IV disease, and nine (11%) had HIV-positive Burkitt lymphoma. Median patient age was 52 years (IQR 37-64). With a median follow-up of 28·5 months (IQR 13·2-43·7), 2-year progression-free survival was 76% (95% CI 60-86%) in the R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC group and 70% (54-82%) in the DA-EPOCH-R group (hazard ratio 1·42, 95% CI 0·63-3·18; p=0·40). There were two deaths in the R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC group (one infection [treatment related] and one due to disease progression [not treatment related]) and one death in the DA-EPOCH-R group (COVID-19 infection [treatment related]). In the R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC group, four patients went off-protocol because of toxic effects, versus none in the DA-EPOCH-R group. Patients treated with R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC had more infectious adverse events (24 [56%] of 43 patients had at least one grade 3-5 infection vs 14 [34%] of 41 patients in the DA-EPOCH-R group). INTERPRETATION The trial stopped early, but the available data suggest that while DA-EPOCH-R did not result in superior progression-free survival compared with R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC, it was associated with fewer toxic effects and need for supportive care. DA-EPOCH-R appears to be an additional valid therapeutic option for patients with high-risk Burkitt lymphoma without CNS involvement.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Targeted Agent and Profiling Utilization Registry (TAPUR) Study is a pragmatic basket trial evaluating antitumor activity of approved targeted agents in patients with advanced cancers harboring potentially actionable genomic alterations. Data from cohorts of patients with high tumor mutational burden (HTMB, defined as ≥9 mutations per megabase) with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) and other advanced cancers treated with pembrolizumab are reported. METHODS Eligible patients were 18 years and older with measurable tumors and a lack of standard treatment options, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, and adequate organ function. The primary end point was disease control (DC), defined as complete or partial response or stable disease (SD) of at least 16-weeks duration. For the CRC cohort, Simon's two-stage design with a null DC rate of 15% versus 35% (power = 0.85; α = .10) was used. Low accruing histology-specific cohorts were collapsed into one histology-pooled (HP) cohort. For the HP cohort, the null hypothesis of a DC rate of 15% was rejected if the lower limit of a one-sided 90% CI was >15%. Secondary end points included objective response (OR), safety, progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, and duration of SD. RESULTS Seventy-seven patients with HTMB with CRC (n = 28) or advanced cancers (n = 49) were treated with pembrolizumab. For the CRC cohort, the DC rate was 31% (P = .04) and the OR rate was 11%. For the HP cohort, the DC rate was 45% (one-sided 90% CI, 35 to 100) and the OR rate was 26%. The null hypothesis of a 15% DC rate was rejected for both cohorts. Twelve of 77 patients experienced treatment-related grade 3 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs, including two deaths. CONCLUSION Pembrolizumab demonstrated antitumor activity in pretreated patients with advanced cancers and HTMB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES 18F-FDG PET with the Deauville score (DS) is a unique semiquantitative method for lymphoma. However, type of standard uptake values (max, mean, and peak) reconstruction algorithms could affect DS. We compared the Bayesian Penalized Likelihood reconstruction algorithm (BPL) with Ordered Subsets Expectation Maximization (OSEM) on quantitative parameters and DS in lymphoma. We investigated the effect of the size of the lymph node on quantitative variation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Raw PET data of 255 lymphoma patients were reconstructed separately with Q.Clear (GE Healthcare), a BPL, and SharpIR (GE Healthcare), an OSEM algorithm. In both images, each patient's liver, mediastinal blood pool, and SUVs (SUVmax, SUVmean, and SUVpeak) of a total of 487 lesions selected from the patients were performed. DSmax, DSmean, and DSpeak were compared. RESULTS In our study, DS increased significantly with BPL (p < 0.001), and the DS increased to 4-5 in thirty patients evaluated as 1-2-3 with OSEM. It was found that the quantitative values of the lymph nodes increased statistically with BPL (p < 0.001), and the liver from the reference regions were significantly decreased (p < 0.001). In addition, difference in lymph node was independently associated with size of lesion and was significantly more pronounced in small lesions (p < 0.001). The effects of BPL algorithm were more pronounced in SUVmax than in SUVmean and SUVpeak. DS-mean and DS-peak scores were less changed by BPL than DS-max. CONCLUSION Different reconstruction algorithms in FDG PET/CT affect the quantitative evaluation. That variation may affect the change in DS in lymphoma patients, thus affecting patient management.

Abstract
The graft-versus-lymphoma (GVL) effect and its association with acute and chronic GVHD (aGVHD, cGVHD) has not been comprehensively elucidated. We retrospectively analysed 2204 Japanese patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs; indolent B-NHLs, n = 689; aggressive B-NHLs, n = 720; mature T/NK-NHLs, n = 795) receiving a first allo-HSCT in 2003-2017. Pre-transplant lymphoma control showed complete response (CR) in 759 and non-CR in 1445. We assessed the impact of aGVHD/cGVHD on lymphoma progression and other outcomes. Although aGVHD/cGVHD showed no statistical impact on lymphoma progression in the overall cohort, their impact was clear in certain groups: Grade I-II aGVHD in CR patients (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.43-0.91), especially in mature T/NK-NHL (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.26-0.83) and extensive cGVHD in patients with mature aggressive B-NHLs (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.31-0.97). In total, limited cGVHD was associated with superior survivals (progression-free survival: HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.56-0.90), whereas severe GVHDs showed negative impacts on them. Our results support the presence of GVL effects differentially associated with GVHD in different lymphoma subtypes/controls. Meanwhile, it was also suggested that we should manage GVHDs within a limited activity, considering the negative impact of severe GVHDs. As pre-transplant lymphoma control remains a strong factor influencing transplant outcomes, improving its management is an important issue to be addressed.

Abstract
Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and other cellular therapies have significantly improved outcomes in the management of multiple hematological and nonhematological malignancies, the resulting impairment in humoral and cellular response increases the risk for opportunistic infection as an undesirable side effect. With their ability to establish latent infection and reactivate when the host immune system is at its weakest point, the Herpesviridae family constitutes a significant proportion of these opportunistic pathogens. Despite recent advancements in preventing and managing herpesvirus infections, they continue to be a common cause of significant morbidity and mortality in transplanted patients. Herein, we aim to provide and update on herpesvirus other than cytomegalovirus (CMV) affecting recipients of HSCT and other cellular therapies.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of medical and nursing visits in the same group combined with emotional care on the quality of life and emotions of patients with malignant lymphoma. One hundred sixty cases of malignant lymphoma patients admitted to our hospital from March 2020 to July 2022 were selected as retrospective study subjects and divided into 80 cases each in the control group and the observation group according to the different nursing methods. Among them, the control group implemented conventional emotional care, and the observation group implemented medical and nursing visits in the same group on the basis of the control group. The differences in quality of life, anxiety-related scores and sleep quality between the 2 groups of patients with malignant lymphoma before and after nursing were compared. After nursing, the mental vitality (P = .015), social interaction (P < .001), emotional restriction (P = .007), and mental status (P = .028) scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. After nursing, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (P < .001) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (P < .001) of malignant lymphoma patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the sleep quality (P < .001), increased awakening (P < .001), sleep disturbance (P < .001), night terrors (P < .001) scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The combination of medical and nursing group checkups and emotional care can effectively improve the quality of life and sleep of patients with malignant lymphoma and reduce adverse emotions, which is beneficial to patient prognosis and clinical treatment. It has certain reference value for the care of patients with malignant lymphoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the usefulness of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT (i) to discriminate between primary SS (pSS) patients with and without lymphomas and (ii) to evaluate systemic disease activity in pSS. METHODS ACR-EULAR-positive pSS patients who underwent FDG-PET/CT were included. Scans were visually evaluated and quantitative analysis was performed by measuring standardized uptake values (SUV) of salivary and lacrimal glands and systemic regions. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to find SUV cut-off values to discriminate between lymphoma and non-lymphoma. RESULTS Of the 70 included patients, 26 were diagnosed with a pSS-associated lymphoma, mostly of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (23/26). Lymphoma patients showed higher FDG uptake in the parotid and submandibular glands, and more frequently showed presence of nodular lung lesions, compared with non-lymphoma patients. The accuracy of the maximum SUV (SUVmax) in the parotid and submandibular gland to predict lymphoma diagnosis was good, with optimal cut-off points of 3.1 and 2.9. After combining these three visual and quantitative findings (nodular lung lesions, parotid SUVmax > 3.1 and submandibular SUVmax > 2.9), sensitivity was 92% when at least one of the three features were present, and specificity was 91% in case at least two features were present. Furthermore, FDG-PET/CT was able to detect systemic manifestations in pSS patients, mostly involving lymph nodes, entheses and lungs. CONCLUSIONS FDG-PET/CT can assist in excluding pSS-associated lymphomas in patients without PET abnormalities, possibly leading to a decrease of invasive biopsies in suspected lymphoma patients. Furthermore, FDG-PET/CT is able to detect systemic manifestations in pSS and can guide to the best biopsy location.

Abstract
Background 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been used in response evaluation systems for malignant lymphomas and is an important tool for determining efficacy and prognosis. The Deauville 5-point scale (D-5PS) is an 18F-FDG PET-CT image-interpretation protocol for patients with lymphoma. Nevertheless, a number of limitations in visual image interpretation, such as interobserver disagreement and the increase of false-positive results, suggests that new parameters are needed. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic values of interim-treatment (I-) and end-of-treatment (EOT) PET-CT by comparing D-5PS to the semiquantitative lesion-to-liver maximum standardized uptake value ratio (RLL). Methods A total of 90 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (45 I-PET and 45 EOT-PET) were analyzed, and the RLL was calculated. Patients were additionally evaluated using the D-5PS system. We determined the optimal cutoff value of RLL using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the outcome predictions, while multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify the predictive factors. Results Among the patients examined, 41 (20 I-PET and 21 EOT-PET) experienced progression, and 49 (25 I-PET, 24 EOT-PET) did not. The optimal cutoff values of the RLL for predicting disease progression were 1.37 for I-PET (sensitivity 75%, specificity 88%) and 2.03 for EOT-PET (sensitivity 45.5%, specificity 100%), while the cutoffs of the D-5PS were scores 4 for I-PET (sensitivity 80%, specificity 72%) and 5 for EOT-PET (sensitivity 40.9%, specificity 100%). The prognostic efficacy was higher for the RLL at interim than for the D-5PS [area under the curve (AUC) =0.848 vs. 0.741]. The EOT prognostic efficacy of both evaluation methods was essentially equivalent (AUC =0.785 vs. 0.725). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that RLL and D-5PS were independent factors affecting DLBCL outcomes for both interim and EOT assessment. Conclusions RLL and D-5PS have independent predictive values for the interim and EOT evaluation of outcomes in patients with DLBCL. The RLL has better interim predictive ability than does D-5PS and can optimize D-5PS interpretation, thus improving interim outcome prediction.

Abstract
Concomitant malignant lymphoma at the time of transplantation is usually considered a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). We report a case of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated malignant lymphoma that was latent preoperatively and rapidly became aggravated after LT. A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital with an exacerbation of abdominal distension due to polycystic liver. As cystic infection, ascites, and deteriorated liver reserve function occurred after hepatic artery embolization, he underwent living-donor LT with his daughter as the donor. His respiratory condition worsened, and he was moved to the intensive care unit on postoperative day 34. Histopathologic examination of the excised liver returned around the same time revealed findings suggestive of EBV-associated malignant lymphoma in lymph nodes near the gallbladder. Subsequent computed tomography scans showed apparent neoplastic lesions in the abdominal cavity and worsening pleural effusion and ascites. Numerous atypical lymphocytes were observed in the pleural effusion and ascites, and the patient was diagnosed with exacerbation of EBV-associated malignant lymphoma. He was treated unsuccessfully with rituximab and died 66 days after LT. Caution should be exercised in elderly immunocompromised transplant candidates who may have comorbid EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disease.

Abstract
PREAMBLE The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) is an international scientific and professional organization founded in 1954 to promote the science, technology, and practical application of nuclear medicine. The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is a professional non-profit medical association that facilitates communication worldwide between individuals pursuing clinical and research excellence in nuclear medicine. The EANM was founded in 1985. The merged International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) is an international, nonprofit, scientific association whose purpose is to promote communication, research, development, and applications in the field of magnetic resonance in medicine and biology and other related topics and to develop and provide channels and facilities for continuing education in the field.The ISMRM was founded in 1994 through the merger of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and the Society of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. SNMMI, ISMRM, and EANM members are physicians, technologists, and scientists specializing in the research and practice of nuclear medicine and/or magnetic resonance imaging. The SNMMI, ISMRM, and EANM will periodically define new guidelines for nuclear medicine practice to help advance the science of nuclear medicine and/or magnetic resonance imaging and to improve the quality of service to patients throughout the world. Existing practice guidelines will be reviewed for revision or renewal, as appropriate, on their fifth anniversary or sooner, if indicated. Each practice guideline, representing a policy statement by the SNMMI/EANM/ISMRM, has undergone a thorough consensus process in which it has been subjected to extensive review. The SNMMI, ISMRM, and EANM recognize that the safe and effective use of diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging and magnetic resonance imaging requires specific training, skills, and techniques, as described in each document. Reproduction or modification of the published practice guideline by those entities not providing these services is not authorized. These guidelines are an educational tool designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate care for patients. They are not inflexible rules or requirements of practice and are not intended, nor should they be used, to establish a legal standard of care. For these reasons and those set forth below, the SNMMI, the ISMRM, and the EANM caution against the use of these guidelines in litigation in which the clinical decisions of a practitioner are called into question. The ultimate judgment regarding the propriety of any specific procedure or course of action must be made by the physician or medical physicist in light of all the circumstances presented. Thus, there is no implication that an approach differing from the guidelines, standing alone, is below the standard of care. To the contrary, a conscientious practitioner may responsibly adopt a course of action different from that set forth in the guidelines when, in the reasonable judgment of the practitioner, such course of action is indicated by the condition of the patient, limitations of available resources, or advances in knowledge or technology subsequent to publication of the guidelines. The practice of medicine includes both the art and the science of the prevention, diagnosis, alleviation, and treatment of disease. The variety and complexity of human conditions make it impossible to always reach the most appropriate diagnosis or to predict with certainty a particular response to treatment. Therefore, it should be recognized that adherence to these guidelines will not ensure an accurate diagnosis or a successful outcome. All that should be expected is that the practitioner will follow a reasonable course of action based on current knowledge, available resources, and the needs of the patient to deliver effective and safe medical care. The sole purpose of these guidelines is to assist practitioners in achieving this objective.

[ 18 F]-FDG PET radiomic model as prognostic biomarker in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Hematol Oncol 2023; 41:674-682. [PMID: 37209024 DOI: 10.1002/hon.3171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
To evaluate the association between radiomic features (RFs) extracted from 18 F-FDG PET/CT (18 F-FDG-PET) with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients eligible to first-line chemotherapy. DLBCL patients who underwent 18 F-FDG-PET prior to first-line chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. RFs were extracted from the lesion showing the highest uptake. A radiomic score to predict PFS and OS was obtained by multivariable Elastic Net Cox model. Radiomic univariate model, clinical and combined clinical-radiomic multivariable models to predict PFS and OS were obtained. 112 patients were analyzed. Median follow-up was 34.7 months (Inter-Quartile Range (IQR) 11.3-66.3 months) for PFS and 41.1 (IQR 18.4-68.9) for OS. Radiomic score resulted associated with PFS and OS (p < 0.001), outperforming conventional PET parameters. C-index (95% CI) for PFS prediction were 0.67 (0.58-0.76), 0.81 (0.75-0.88) and 0.84 (0.77-0.91) for clinical, radiomic and combined clinical-radiomic model, respectively. C-index for OS were 0.77 (0.66-0.89), 0.84 (0.76-0.91) and 0.90 (0.81-0.98). In the Kaplan-Meier analysis (low-IPI vs. high-IPI), the radiomic score was significant predictor of PFS (p < 0.001). The radiomic score was an independent prognostic biomarker of survival in DLBCL patients. The extraction of RFs from baseline 18 F-FDG-PET might be proposed in DLBCL to stratify high-risk versus low-risk patients of relapse after first-line therapy, especially in low-IPI patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the clinical and prognostic role of body composition and metabolic parameters extracted from baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We retrospectively collected the clinicopathological and 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters of 181 DLBCL patients. The indexes of skeletal muscle, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and visceral adipose tissue were calculated using the area measured at the 3rd lumbar level normalized for height. Additionally, the metabolic activity of corresponding muscle and adipose tissue, and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of all lesions were measured. Survival endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). We identified 75 (41.4%) patients with low skeletal muscle index (sarcopenia), presenting risk factors including male, high β2-microglobulin, low BMI, high visceral adipose tissue index, low SUVmax of skeletal muscle, and high SUVmax of visceral adipose tissue. Male, low BMI, low visceral adipose tissue index, and high SUVmax of subcutaneous adipose tissue were risk factors for low subcutaneous adipose tissue index diagnosed in 105 (58.0%) patients. In total, 132 (79.2%) patients represented low visceral adipose tissue index, associated with younger age, B symptoms, and low BMI. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status, sarcopenia, and visceral adipose tissue index were found independently predictive of PFS and OS, while β2-microglobulin was independently predictive of OS. In conclusion, body composition indexes were correlated with both clinical characteristics and 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters, significantly impacting survival, such that sarcopenia and high visceral adipose tissue index were powerful predictors of poor DLBCL outcomes.

Prognostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the bone marrow on pretreatment positron emission tomography/computed tomography in patients with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy. Esophagus 2023; 20:660-668. [PMID: 37129700 DOI: 10.1007/s10388-023-01011-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the bone marrow (BM) on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) clinically reflects increased BM metabolism owing to systemic inflammation, bacterial infection, anemia, and cytokine-producing tumors. The association between FDG uptake in the BM and prognosis after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer has not been investigated. METHODS This study included 651 patients who underwent PET/CT before any treatment and McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between June 2007 and August 2021. The pretreatment degree of FDG uptake in the BM was evaluated using a visual assessment criterion. Patients were divided into low- and high-FDG uptake groups. We retrospectively investigated whether the degree of FDG uptake in the BM was associated with clinicopathological and surgical backgrounds, blood parameters, and prognosis. RESULTS High FDG uptake in the BM was significantly associated with elevated white blood cell and neutrophil counts, increased C-reactive protein levels, decreased hemoglobin, serum albumin, and total cholesterol levels. High FDG uptake in the BM was an independent predictor of worse overall survival in clinical stages 0-II esophageal cancer (hazard ratio, 2.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.097-4.695; P = 0.027). Worse overall survival was also associated with advanced age, low American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, an advanced clinical stage, and high intraoperative blood loss. CONCLUSION Increased FDG uptake in the BM on pretreatment PET/CT may be a surrogate indicator of various clinically disadvantageous backgrounds and may act as a predictor of poor prognosis after esophageal cancer surgery.

Abstract
Most patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are cured with combination chemotherapy, but approximately 10-20% will relapse, and another 5-10% will have primary refractory disease. The treatment landscape of relapsed/refractory (R/R) cHL has evolved significantly over the past decade following the approval of brentuximab vedotin (BV), an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, and the PD-1 inhibitors nivolumab and pembrolizumab. These agents have significantly expanded options for salvage therapy prior to autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT), post-transplant maintenance, and treatment of relapse after AHCT, which have led to improved survival in the modern era. In this review, we highlight our approach to the management of R/R cHL in 2023 with a focus on choosing first salvage therapy, post-transplant maintenance, and treatment of relapse after AHCT. We also discuss the management of older adults and transplant-ineligible patients, who require a separate approach. Finally, we review novel immunotherapy approaches in clinical trials, including combinations of PD-1 inhibitors with other immune-activating agents as well as novel antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and cellular immunotherapies. Ongoing studies assessing biomarkers of response to immunotherapy and dynamic biomarkers such as circulating tumor DNA may further inform treatment decisions and enable a more personalized approach in the future.

Abstract
CAR T-cell product quality and stemness (Tstem) are major determinants of in vivo expansion, efficacy, and clinical response. Prolonged ex vivo culturing is known to deplete Tstem, affecting clinical outcome. YTB323, a novel autologous CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy expressing the same validated CAR as tisagenlecleucel, is manufactured using a next-generation platform in <2 days. Here, we report the preclinical development and preliminary clinical data of YTB323 in adults with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL; NCT03960840). In preclinical mouse models, YTB323 exhibited enhanced in vivo expansion and antitumor activity at lower doses than traditionally manufactured CAR T cells. Clinically, at doses 25-fold lower than tisagenlecleucel, YTB323 showed (i) promising overall safety [cytokine release syndrome (any grade, 35%; grade ≥3, 6%), neurotoxicity (any grade, 25%; grade ≥3, 6%)]; (ii) overall response rates of 75% and 80% for DL1 and DL2, respectively; (iii) comparable CAR T-cell expansion; and (iv) preservation of T-cell phenotype. Current data support the continued development of YTB323 for r/r DLBCL. SIGNIFICANCE Traditional CAR T-cell manufacturing requires extended ex vivo cell culture, reducing naive and stem cell memory T-cell populations and diminishing antitumor activity. YTB323, which expresses the same validated CAR as tisagenlecleucel, can be manufactured in <2 days while retaining T-cell stemness and enhancing clinical activity at a 25-fold lower dose.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the significance of interim whole-body dynamic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) Patlak parameters for predicting the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. To estimate the predictive value of the whole-body dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT Patlak parameter for 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and 2-year overall survival (OS). Methods This study reports the findings of 67 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). These patients underwent interim whole-body dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT scans from June 2021 to January 2023 at the Department of Nuclear Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. The predictive values of maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), maximum of net glucose uptake rate (Kimax) and the predictive model combining Kimax and interim treatment response on the prognosis of patients was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests were used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to screen for independent prognostic risk factors. Results After a median follow-up of 18 months, 21 patients (31.3%) experienced disease recurrence or death. The cut-off values for the SUVmax and the Kimax were 6.1 and 0.13 μmol min-1·ml-1, respectively. Ann Arbor stage, IPI, SUVmax, Kimax and interim treatment response were associated with PFS and OS in the univariate analysis. However, only Kimax and interim treatment response were independent influences on PFS and OS in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Interim whole-body dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT Patlak imaging has significant prognostic value in patients with DLBCL. Among them, the interim dynamic parameter Kimax showed the best predictive value for prognosis compared with the interim SUVmax and interim treatment response. The predictive model established by Kimax and the interim treatment response allowed for the accurate stratification of the prognostic risk of DLBCL.

Abstract
PURPOSE Achieving complete response (CR) after first-line chemotherapy in gastric DLBCL patients often results in longer disease-free survival. We explored whether a model based on imaging features combined with clinicopathological factors could assess the CR to chemotherapy in patients with gastric DLBCL. METHODS Univariate (P < 0.10) and multivariate (P < 0.05) analyses were used to identify factors associated with a CR to treatment. As a result, a system was developed to evaluate whether gastric DLBCL patients had a CR to chemotherapy. Evidence was found to support the model's ability to predict outcomes and demonstrate clinical value. RESULTS We retrospectively analysed 108 people who had been diagnosed gastric DLBCL; 53 were in CR. Patients were divided at random into a 5:4 training/testing dataset split. β2 microglobulin before and after chemotherapy and lesion length after chemotherapy were independent predictors of the CR of gastric DLBCL patients after chemotherapy. These factors were used in the predictive model construction. In the training dataset, the area under the curve (AUC) of the model was 0.929, the specificity was 0.806, and the sensitivity was 0.862. In the testing dataset, the model had an AUC of 0.957, specificity of 0.792, and sensitivity of 0.958. The AUC did not differ significantly between the training and testing dates (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION A model constructed using imaging features combined with clinicopathological factors could effectively evaluate the CR to chemotherapy in gastric DLBCL patients. The predictive model can facilitate the monitoring of patients and be used to adjust individualised treatment plans.

Abstract
The use of functional quantitative biomarkers extracted from routine PET-CT scans to characterize clinical responses in patients with lymphoma is gaining increased attention, and these biomarkers can outperform established clinical risk factors. Total metabolic tumour volume enables individualized estimation of survival outcomes in patients with lymphoma and has shown the potential to predict response to therapy suitable for risk-adapted treatment approaches in clinical trials. The deployment of machine learning tools in molecular imaging research can assist in recognizing complex patterns and, with image classification, in tumour identification and segmentation of data from PET-CT scans. Initial studies using fully automated approaches to calculate metabolic tumour volume and other PET-based biomarkers have demonstrated appropriate correlation with calculations from experts, warranting further testing in large-scale studies. The extraction of computer-based quantitative tumour characterization through radiomics can provide a comprehensive view of phenotypic heterogeneity that better captures the molecular and functional features of the disease. Additionally, radiomics can be integrated with genomic data to provide more accurate prognostic information. Further improvements in PET-based biomarkers are imminent, although their incorporation into clinical decision-making currently has methodological shortcomings that need to be addressed with confirmatory prospective validation in selected patient populations. In this Review, we discuss the current knowledge, challenges and opportunities in the integration of quantitative PET-based biomarkers in clinical trials and the routine management of patients with lymphoma.

Metabolic PET/CT analysis of aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma prior to Axicabtagene Ciloleucel CAR-T infusion: predictors of progressive disease, survival, and toxicity. Blood Cancer J 2023; 13:127. [PMID: 37591834 PMCID: PMC10435575 DOI: 10.1038/s41408-023-00895-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
PET/CT is used to evaluate relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) prior to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) infusion at two time points: pre-leukapheresis (pre-leuk) and pre-lymphodepletion chemotherapy (pre-LD). We hypothesized that changes in PET/CT between these time points predict outcomes after CAR-T. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and other metrics were calculated from pre-leuk and pre-LD PET/CT scans in patients with NHL who received axicabtagene ciloleucel, and assessed for association with outcomes. Sixty-nine patients were analyzed. While single time point PET/CT characteristics were not associated with risk of PD or death, increases from pre-leuk to pre-LD in parenchymal MTV, nodal MTV, TLG of the largest lesion, and total number of lesions were associated with increased risk of death (p < 0.05 for all). LASSO analysis identified increasing extranodal MTV and increasing TLG of the largest lesion as strong predictors of death (AUC 0.74). Greater pre-LD total MTV was associated with higher risk of grade 3+ immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) (p = 0.042). Increasing metabolic disease burden during CAR-T manufacturing is associated with increased risk of progression and death. A two variable risk score stratifies prognosis prior to CAR-T infusion and may inform risk-adapted strategies.

Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2023; 57:180-193. [PMID: 37483872 PMCID: PMC10359238 DOI: 10.1007/s13139-023-00795-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose In PET/CT imaging, the activity of the 18F-FDG activity is injected either based on patient body weight (BW) or body mass index (BMI). The purpose of this study was to optimise BMI-based whole body 18F-FDG PET images obtained from overweight and obese patients and assess their image quality, quantitative value and radiation dose in comparison to BW-based images. Methods The NEMA-IEC-body phantom was scanned using the mCT 128-slice scanner. The spheres and background were filed with F-18 activity. Spheres-to-background ratio was 4:1. Data was reconstructed using the OSEM-TOF-PSF routine reconstruction. The optimization was performed by varying number of iterations and subsets, filter's size and type, and matrix size. The optimized reconstruction was applied to 17 patients' datasets. The optimized BMI-, routine BMI- and the BW-based images were compared visually and using contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and standardized uptake values (SUV) measurements. Results The visual assessment of the optimized phantom images showed better image quality and contrast-recovery-coefficients (CRCs) values compared to the routine reconstruction. Using patient data, the optimized BMI-based images provided better image quality compared to BW-based images in 87.5% of the overweight cases and 66.7% for obese cases. The optimized BMI-based images resulted in more than 50% reduction of radiation dose. No significant differences were found between the three series of images in SUV measurements. Conclusion The optimized BMI-based approach using 1 iteration, 21 subsets, and 3 mm Hamming filter improves image quality, reduces radiation dose, and provides, at least, similar quantification compared to the BW-based approach for overweight and obese patients.

Abstract
The Lugano classification for response assessment in lymphoma recommends the use of the 5-point-scale Deauville Score (DS) to assess response evaluation of end-of-treatment FDG-PET/CT (eotPET) in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL); nevertheless, there is a paucity of data on its accuracy and reproducibility. We focus here on the cohort of advanced stage IIb-IV HL patients enrolled in the HD0607 clinical trial (NCT identifier 00795613) that having had a negative interim PET performed 6 cycles of ABVD (Doxorubicin, Vinblastine, Vincristine and Dacarbazine) and then performed an eotPET. Negative patients were randomized to radiotherapy and no further treatment while positive patients were treated based on local policies. eotPET was re-evaluated independently by two readers evaluated and progression free survival was analysed (PFS). eotPET of 254 patients were analysed. The median follow-up was 43 months. The best receiver operator characteristics cut-off values to distinguish positive and negative patients was 4. The area-under-the-curve was 0.81 (95%CI, 0.70-0.91). Three-years PFS was 0.95 (95% CI 0.90-0.97) in eotPET negative and 0.22 (95% CI 0.11-0.43) in eotPET positive. DS demonstrated a good reproducibility of positivity/negativity between the readers consensus and local site evaluation where the agreement occurred on 95.0% of patients. The present study demonstrates that eotPET is an accurate tool to predict treatment outcome in HL and confirms the appropriateness of the Lugano classification for eotPET evaluation.

Radiomics predictive modeling from dual-time-point FDG PET K i parametric maps: application to chemotherapy response in lymphoma. EJNMMI Res 2023; 13:70. [PMID: 37493872 PMCID: PMC10371962 DOI: 10.1186/s13550-023-01022-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the use of dynamic radiomics features derived from dual-time-point (DTP-feature) [18F]FDG PET metabolic uptake rate Ki parametric maps to develop a predictive model for response to chemotherapy in lymphoma patients. METHODS We analyzed 126 lesions from 45 lymphoma patients (responding n = 75 and non-responding n = 51) treated with chemotherapy from two different centers. Static and DTP radiomics features were extracted from baseline static PET images and DTP Ki parametric maps. Spearman's rank correlations were calculated between static and DTP features to identify features with potential additional information. We first employed univariate analysis to determine correlations between individual features, and subsequently utilized multivariate analysis to derive predictive models utilizing DTP and static radiomics features before and after ComBat harmonization. For multivariate modeling, we utilized both the minimum redundancy maximum relevance feature selection technique and the XGBoost classifier. To evaluate our model, we partitioned the patient datasets into training/validation and testing sets using an 80/20% split. Different metrics for classification including area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), and accuracy (ACC) were reported in test sets. RESULTS Via Spearman's rank correlations, there was negligible to moderate correlation between 32 out of 65 DTP features and some static features (ρ < 0.7); all the other 33 features showed high correlations (ρ ≥ 0.7). In univariate modeling, no significant difference between AUC of DTP and static features was observed. GLRLM_RLNU from static features demonstrated a strong correlation (AUC = 0.75, p value = 0.0001, q value = 0.0007) with therapy response. The most predictive DTP features were GLCM_Energy, GLCM_Entropy, and Uniformity, each with AUC = 0.73, p value = 0.0001, and q value < 0.0005. In multivariate analysis, the mean ranges of AUCs increased following harmonization. Use of harmonization plus combining DTP and static features was shown to provide significantly improved predictions (AUC = 0.97 ± 0.02, accuracy = 0.89 ± 0.05, sensitivity = 0.92 ± 0.09, and specificity = 0.88 ± 0.05). All models depicted significant performance in terms of AUC, ACC, SEN, and SPE (p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney test). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate significant value in harmonization of radiomics features as well as combining DTP and static radiomics models for predicting response to chemotherapy in lymphoma patients.

Abstract
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a fundamental sequence not only in neuroimaging but also in oncologic imaging and has emerging applications for MRI evaluation of the chest. DWI can be used in clinical practice to enhance lesion conspicuity, tissue characterization, and treatment response. While the spatial resolution of DWI is in the order of millimeters, changes in diffusion can be measured on the micrometer scale. As such, DWI sequences can provide important functional information to MRI evaluation of the chest but require careful optimization of acquisition parameters, notably selection of b values, application of parallel imaging, fat saturation, and motion correction techniques. Along with assessment of morphologic and other functional features, evaluation of DWI signal attenuation and apparent diffusion coefficient maps can aid in tissue characterization. DWI is a noninvasive noncontrast acquisition with an inherent quantitative nature and excellent reproducibility. The outstanding contrast-to-noise ratio provided by DWI can be used to improve detection of pulmonary, mediastinal, and pleural lesions, to identify the benign nature of complex cysts, to characterize the solid portions of cystic lesions, and to classify chest lesions as benign or malignant. DWI has several advantages over fluorine 18 (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in the assessment, TNM staging, and treatment monitoring of lung cancer and other thoracic neoplasms with conventional or more recently developed therapies. © RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a novel prognostic index integrating baseline metabolic tumour volume (MTV) along with clinical and pathological parameters for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS This prospective trial enrolled 289 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. The predictive value of novel prognostic index was compared with Ann Arbor staging and National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI). We used the concordance index (C-index) and a calibration curve to determine its predictive capacity. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed high MTV (>191 cm 3 ), Ann Arbor stage (III-IV) and MYC/BCL2 double expression lymphoma (DEL) to be independently associated with inferior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Ann Arbor stage and DEL could be stratified by MTV. Our index, combining MTV with Ann Arbor stage and DEL status, identified four prognostic groups: group 1 (no risk factors,), group 2 (one risk factor), group 3 (two risk factors), and group 4 (three risk factors). The 2-year PFS rates were 85.5, 73.9, 53.6, and 13.9%; 2-year OS rates were 94.6, 87.0, 67.5, and 24.2%, respectively. The C-index values of the novel index were 0.697 and 0.753 for PFS and OS prediction, which was superior to Ann Arbor stage and NCCN-IPI. CONCLUSION The novel index including tumour burden and clinicopathological features may help predict outcome of DLBCL (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02928861).

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma - Nodal and Extranodal: 20-Year Comparative Mortality, Survival & Biologic Behavior Analysis by Age, Sex, Race, Stage, Cell Morphology/Histology, Cohort Entry Time-Period and Disease Duration: A Systematic Review of 384,651 Total NHL Cases Including 261,144 Nodal and 123,507 Extranodal Cases for Diagnosis Years 1975-2016: (SEER*Stat 8.3.6). J Insur Med 2023; 50:1-35. [PMID: 37725503 DOI: 10.17849/insm-50-1-1-35.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
During the past 5 decades, there have been reports of increases in the incidence and mortality rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the United States and globally. The ability to address the epidemiologic diversity, prognosis and treatment of NHL depends on the use of an accurate and consistent classification system. Historically, uniform treatment for NHL has been hampered by the lack of a systematic taxonomy of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Before 1982, there were 6 competing classification schemes with contending terminologies for NHL: the Rappaport, Lukes-Collins, Kiel, World Health Organization, British, and Dorfman systems without consensus as to which system is most satisfactory regarding clinical relevance, scientific accuracy and reproducibility and presenting a difficult task for abstractors of incidence information. In 1982, the National Cancer Institute sponsored a workshop1 that developed a working formulation designed to: 1) provide clinicians with prognostic information for the various types of NHLs, and 2) provide a common language that might be used to compare clinical trials from various treatment centers around the world. Studies imply that prognosis is dependent on tumor stage and histology rather than the primary localization per se.2 This study utilizes the National Cancer Institute PDQ adaptation of the World Health Organization's (WHO) updated REAL (Revised European American Lymphoma) classification3 of lymphoproliferative diseases, and the SEER*Stat 8.3.6 database (released Aug 8, 2019) for diagnosis years 1975-2016. In this article, we make use of 40 years of data to examine patterns of incidence, survival and mortality, and selected cell bio-behavioral characteristics of NHL in the United States. OBJECTIVE -To update trends in incidence and prevalence in the United States of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, examine, compare and contrast short and long-term patterns of survival and mortality, and consider the outcome impacts of anatomic location of NHL nodal and extranodal subdivisions, utilizing selected ICD-O-3 histologic oncotypes stratified by age, sex, race/ethnicity, stage, cell behavioral morphology and histologic typology, cohort entry time-period and disease duration, employing the statistical database of the National Cancer Institute SEER*Stat 8.3.6 program for diagnosis years 1975-2016.4 Methods.- A retrospective, population-based cohort study using nationally representative data from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program to evaluate 384,651 NHL cases for diagnosis years 1975-2016 comparing multiple variables of age, sex, race, stage, cell behavioral morphology, cohort entry time-period, disease duration and histologic oncotype. Relative survival statistics were analyzed in two cohorts: 1975-1995 and 1996-2016. Survival statistics were derived from SEER*Stat Database: Incidence - SEER 9 Regs Research Data, November 2018 Submission (1975-2016) released April 2019, based on the November 2018 submission. RESULTS - Incidence rates, relative frequency distributions, survival and mortality by age, sex, stage and cell behavioral morphology, of adult nodal (N) and extranodal (EN) NHL in 2 entrant time-periods as recorded in the SEER Program of the National Cancer Institute for diagnosis years 1975-2016 (SEER Stat 8.3.6) are summarized. Shifts in trends over time are identified, and the findings are correlated with prognosis, including short and long-term observed (actual), expected and relative survival, median observed and relative survival, mortality rates and excess death rates per 1000 people. CONCLUSIONS - Trends in SEER incidence, prevalence, survival and mortality by age, sex, race, stage, cell behavioral morphology, cohort entry time-period, relative frequency and percent distribution, were examined to provide a current epidemiologic and medical-actuarial risk assessment framework for nodal (N) and extranodal (EN) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the 1975-2016 timeframe.

Obinutuzumab Versus Rituximab Immunochemotherapy in Previously Untreated iNHL: Final Results From the GALLIUM Study. Hemasphere 2023; 7:e919. [PMID: 37404773 PMCID: PMC10317485 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The phase III GALLIUM trial assessed the safety and efficacy of obinutuzumab-based versus rituximab-based immunochemotherapy in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). At the primary analysis, the trial met its primary end point, demonstrating improvement in investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) with obinutuzumab-based versus rituximab-based immunochemotherapy in patients with FL. We report the results of the final analysis in the FL population, with an additional exploratory analysis in the MZL subgroup. Overall, 1202 patients with FL were randomized 1:1 to obinutuzumab- or rituximab-based immunochemotherapy followed by maintenance with the same antibody for up to 2 years. After a median 7.9 (range, 0.0-9.8) years of follow-up, PFS remained improved with obinutuzumab- versus rituximab-based immunochemotherapy, with 7-year PFS rates of 63.4% versus 55.7% (P = 0.006). Time-to-next antilymphoma treatment was also improved (74.1% versus 65.4% of patients had not started their next antilymphoma treatment at 7 y; P = 0.001). Overall survival was similar between the arms (88.5% versus 87.2%; P = 0.36). Irrespective of the treatment received, PFS and OS were higher in patients with a complete molecular response (CMR) versus those with no CMR (P < 0.001). Serious adverse events were reported in 48.9% and 43.4% of patients in the obinutuzumab and rituximab arms, respectively; there was no difference in the rate of fatal adverse events (4.4% and 4.5%, respectively). No new safety signals were reported. These data demonstrate the long-term benefit of obinutuzumab-based immunochemotherapy and confirm its role as a standard-of-care for the first-line treatment of advanced-stage FL, taking into account patient characteristics and safety considerations.

Curr Oncol 2023; 30:5906-5931. [PMID: 37366925 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol30060442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The present review aimed to establish an understanding of the pathophysiology of leptomeningeal disease as it relates to late-stage development among different cancer types. For our purposes, the focused metastatic malignancies include breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, primary central nervous system tumors, and hematologic cancers (lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma). Of note, our discussion was limited to cancer-specific leptomeningeal metastases secondary to the aforementioned primary cancers. LMD mechanisms secondary to non-cancerous pathologies, such as infection or inflammation of the leptomeningeal layer, were excluded from our scope of review. Furthermore, we intended to characterize general leptomeningeal disease, including the specific anatomical infiltration process/area, CSF dissemination, manifesting clinical symptoms in patients afflicted with the disease, detection mechanisms, imaging modalities, and treatment therapies (both preclinical and clinical). Of these parameters, leptomeningeal disease across different primary cancers shares several features. Pathophysiology regarding the development of CNS involvement within the mentioned cancer subtypes is similar in nature and progression of disease. Consequently, detection of leptomeningeal disease, regardless of cancer type, employs several of the same techniques. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis in combination with varied imaging (CT, MRI, and PET-CT) has been noted in the current literature as the gold standard in the diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis. Treatment options for the disease are both varied and currently in development, given the rarity of these cases. Our review details the differences in leptomeningeal disease as they pertain through the lens of several different cancer subtypes in an effort to highlight the current state of targeted therapy, the potential shortcomings in treatment, and the direction of preclinical and clinical treatments in the future. As there is a lack of comprehensive reviews that seek to characterize leptomeningeal metastasis from various solid and hematologic cancers altogether, the authors intended to highlight not only the overlapping mechanisms but also the distinct patterning of disease detection and progression as a means to uniquely treat each metastasis type. The scarcity of LMD cases poses a barrier to more robust evaluations of this pathology. However, as treatments for primary cancers have improved over time, so has the incidence of LMD. The increase in diagnosed cases only represents a small fraction of LMD-afflicted patients. More often than not, LMD is determined upon autopsy. The motivation behind this review stems from the increased capacity to study LMD in spite of scarcity or poor patient prognosis. In vitro analysis of leptomeningeal cancer cells has allowed researchers to approach this disease at the level of cancer subtypes and markers. We ultimately hope to facilitate the clinical translation of LMD research through our discourse.

Front Oncol 2023; 13:1171048. [PMID: 37397396 PMCID: PMC10311063 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1171048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The goal of the study was to determine the prognostic significance of metabolic parameters in baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT images obtained from patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Methods Forty patients with pathologically diagnosed AITL who had baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT between May 2014 and May 2021 were assessed as part of this study. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) were obtained and analyzed. In addition, many relevant features were evaluated, including sex, age, staging, International Prognostic Index (IPI), prediction index for T-cell lymphoma (PIT), Ki-67, and so on. Estimates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using the log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier. Results The median follow-up was 30.2 months (interquartile range 9.82-43.03). Throughout the follow-up period, 29 (72.5%) deaths occurred and 22 (55.0%) patients made progress. The rates for 2- and 3-year PFS were 43.6% and 26.4%, respectively. The 3- and 5-year OS were 42.6% and 21.5%. For TMTV, TLG, and SUVmax, the cut-off values were 87.0 cm3, 711.1, and 15.8, respectively. Poorer PFS and OS were substantially correlated with high SUVmax and TLG. An increased TMTV suggested a shorter OS. TLG performed independently as OS predictors in multivariate analysis. The risk score for predicting the prognosis of AITL includes the TMTV, TLG, SUVmax, and IPI scores, with 4.5 for TMTV, 2 for TLG, 1.5 for IPI scores, and 1 for SUVmax. Three risk categories of patients with AITL had 3-year OS rates of 100.0%, 43.3%, and 25.0%, respectively. Conclusion Baseline TLG was a strong predictor of OS. Here a new prognostic scoring system for AITL based on the clinical indicators and PET/CT metabolic parameters was constructed, which might make stratification of prognosis easy and also help to individualize treatment.

Abstract
A rapid growing cervical mass mobile while swallowing is the most common clinical presentation of severe thyroid malignancy. A 91-year-old female patient with a history of Hashimoto thyroiditis presented with clinical compressive neck symptoms. The patient had gastric Maltoma diagnosed that was surgically resected thirty years ago. A straightforward process was needed to reach full histological diagnosis and initiate prompt therapy. Ultrasound (US) showed a 67 mm hypoechoic left thyroid mass with reticulated pattern without signs of locoregional invasion. Percutaneous trans isthmic US-guided 18G core needle biopsy (CNB) disclosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the thyroid gland. FDG PET revealed two distinct thyroid and gastric foci (both SUVmax 39.1). Therapy was initiated rapidly to decrease clinical symptoms in this aggressive stage III primitive malignant thyroid lymphoma. The prognostic nomogram was calculated by using a seven-item scale, which disclosed a one-year overall survival rate of 52%. The patient underwent three R-CVP chemotherapy courses, then refused further treatment and died within five months. Real-time US-guided CNB approach led to rapid patient's management that was tailored to patient's characteristics. Transformation of Maltoma into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) into two body areas is deemed to be extremely rare.

Abstract
Purpose Accurate risk stratification can improve lymphoma management, but current volumetric 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) indicators require time-consuming segmentation of all lesions in the body. Herein, we investigated the prognostic values of readily obtainable metabolic bulk volume (MBV) and bulky lesion glycolysis (BLG) that measure the single largest lesion. Methods The study subjects were a homogeneous cohort of 242 newly diagnosed stage II or III diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients who underwent first-line R-CHOP treatment. Baseline PET/CT was retrospectively analyzed for maximum transverse diameter (MTD), total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), MBV, and BLG. Volumes were drawn using 30% SUVmax as threshold. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the Cox proportional hazards model assessed the ability to predict overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results During a median follow-up period of 5.4 years (maximum of 12.7 years), events occurred in 85 patients, including progression, relapse, and death (65 deaths occurred at a median of 17.6 months). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis identified an optimal TMTV of 112 cm3, MBV of 88 cm3, TLG of 950, and BLG of 750 for discerning events. Patients with high MBV were more likely to have stage III disease; worse ECOG performance; higher IPI risk score; increased LDH; and high SUVmax, MTD, TMTV, TLG, and BLG. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that high TMTV (p = 0.005 and < 0.001), MBV (both p < 0.001), TLG (p < 0.001 and 0.008), and BLG (p = 0.018 and 0.049) were associated with significantly worse OS and PFS. On Cox multivariate analysis, older age (> 60 years; HR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.58-4.75; p < 0.001) and high MBV (HR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.05-6.54; p = 0.023) were independent predictors of worse OS. Older age (hazard ratio [HR], 2.90; 95% CI, 1.74-4.82; p < 0.001) and high MBV (HR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.15-6.54; p = 0.032) were also independent predictors of worse PFS. Furthermore, among subjects ≤60 years, high MBV remained the only significant independent predictor of worse OS (HR, 4.269; 95% CI, 1.03-17.76; p = 0.046) and PFS (HR, 6.047; 95% CI, 1.73-21.11; p = 0.005). Among subjects with stage III disease, only greater age (HR, 2.540; 95% CI, 1.22-5.30; p = 0.013) and high MBV (HR, 6.476; 95% CI, 1.20-31.9; p = 0.030) were significantly associated with worse OS, while greater age was the only independent predictor of worse PFS (HR, 6.145; 95% CI, 1.10-4.17; p = 0.024). Conclusions MBV easily obtained from the single largest lesion may provide a clinically useful FDG volumetric prognostic indicator in stage II/III DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to differentiate between false-positive and true-positive positron emission tomography (PET) results after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for lymphoma involvement by analyzing several clinical variables and specific imaging features. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with lymphoma who received SCT and underwent post-transplantation 18F-FDG PET/CT scans between January 2013 and April 2021 at our institution were included. Associations between PET positivity and related clinical information were assessed using t-tests and χ2 tests. The significance of variables differentiating benign lesions from malignant FDG-avid lesions was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Survival probabilities were derived from Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 185 patients (235 post-transplantation PET/CT scans) were enrolled in our present study. Compared with those with true-positive PET results, patients with false-positive PET results exhibited a better prognosis. For the autologous SCT group, false-positive cases were more commonly seen when FDG-avid foci appeared outside the sites of the original disease (p = 0.004), and the integrated CT imaging showed negative results (p = 0.000). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, integrated CT results were the only significant factor. For the allogeneic SCT group, false-positive cases were significantly more commonly seen when DS = 4 (p = 0.046), FDG-avid foci appeared outside the sites of the original disease (p = 0.022), and the integrated CT imaging showed negative results (p = 0.001). In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, whether FDG-avid foci were in the sites of the original disease and integrated CT results were both significant factors. CONCLUSION False-positive FDG uptake in post-transplantation PET was not uncommon. Several variables could provide an important reference to differentiate false-positive from true-positive post-SCT PET results for lymphoma involvement. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300067355.

Abstract
Positron emission tomography is established for staging and response evaluation in lymphoma using visual evaluation and semi-quantitative analysis. Radiomic analysis involving quantitative imaging features at baseline, such as metabolic tumor volume and markers of disease dissemination and changes in the standardized uptake value during treatment are emerging as powerful biomarkers. The combination of radiomic features with clinical risk factors and genomic analysis offers the potential to improve clinical risk prediction. This review discusses the state of current knowledge, progress toward standardization of tumor delineation for radiomic analysis and argues that radiomic features, molecular markers and circulating tumor DNA should be included in clinical trial designs to enable the development of baseline and dynamic risk scores that could further advance the field to facilitate testing of novel treatments and personalized therapy in aggressive lymphomas.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are both malignancies originating in the lymphatic system and both affect children, but many features differ considerably, impacting workup and management. This paper provides consensus-based imaging recommendations for evaluation of patients with HL and NHL at diagnosis and response assessment for both interim and end of therapy (follow-up).

Baseline metabolic tumour burden improves risk stratification in Hodgkin lymphoma: A Children's Oncology Group study. Br J Haematol 2023; 201:1192-1199. [PMID: 36922022 PMCID: PMC10247420 DOI: 10.1111/bjh.18734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
The Children's Oncology Group AHOD0831 study used a positron emission tomography (PET) response-adapted approach in high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, whereby slow early responders (SERs) received more intensive therapy than rapid early responders (RERs). We explored if baseline PET-based characteristics would improve risk stratification. Of 166 patients enrolled in the COG AHOD0831 study, 94 (57%) had baseline PET scans evaluable for quantitative analysis. For these patients, total body metabolic tumour volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax ) and peak SUV (SUVpeak ) were obtained. MTV/TLG thresholds were an SUV of 2.5 (MTV2.5 /TLG2.5 ) and 40% of the tumour SUVmax (MTV40% /TLG40% ). TLG2.5 was associated with event-free survival (EFS) in the complete cohort (p = 0.04) and in RERs (p = 0.01), but not in SERs (p = 0.8). The Youden index cut-off for TLG2.5 was 1841. Four-year EFS was 92% for RER/TLG2.5 up to 1841, 60% for RER/TLG2.5 greater than 1841, 74% for SER/TLG2.5 up to 1841 and 79% for SER/TLG2.5 greater than 1841. Second EFS for RER/TLG2.5 up to 1841 was 100%. Thus, RERs with a low baseline TLG2.5 experienced excellent EFS with less intensive therapy, whereas RERs with a high baseline TLG2.5 experienced poor EFS. These findings suggest that patients with a high upfront tumour burden may benefit from intensified therapy, even if they achieve a RER.

Efficacy of Residual Site Radiation Therapy (ISRT) in Patients with Primary Mediastinal Lymphoma with Deauville Score 4 Following R-CHT: Results of a Retrospective Mono Institutional Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113777. [PMID: 37297971 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to evaluate the efficacy of residual site radiation therapy (RSRT) in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with primary mediastinal lymphoma (PMBCL) with Deauville Score 4 (DS 4) following rituximab and chemotherapy treatment (R-ICHT). METHODS Thirty-one patients with PMBCL were recruited. After completion of R-ICHT, patients were staged with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography, showing DS 4, and were treated with adjuvant RSRT. The chosen techniques for RT delivery were intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or three-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT). Most patients underwent the first one using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). All patients were evaluated every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months afterwards for a period of at least 5 years, with clinical and radiological procedures as required. RESULTS All patients received RSRT with a dose of 30 Gy in 15 fractions. The median follow-up time of 52.7 months (IQR: 26-64.1 months). The 5-year OS rate was 100%. The 2-year and 5-year PFS rates were 96.7% and 92.5%, respectively. Patients with relapsed disease had been treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT). CONCLUSION RSRT in patients with PMBCL treated with ICHT and DS 4 did not impact unfavorably on patient survival.

Abstract
Cases of digestive cancers diagnosed during pregnancy are rare. The increasing prevalence of pregnancy in women aged 30-39 years (and not exceptionally 40-49 years) could explain the frequent co-occurrence of cancers and pregnancy. The diagnosis of digestive cancers in pregnancy is difficult due to the overlap between neoplasm symptomatology and the clinical picture of pregnancy. A paraclinical evaluation may also be difficult depending on the trimester of the pregnancy. Diagnosis is also delayed by practitioners' hesitation to use invasive investigations (imaging, endoscopy, etc.) due to fetal safety concerns. Therefore, digestive cancers are often diagnosed during pregnancy in advanced stages, where complications such as occlusions, perforations, and cachexia have already arisen. In this review, we highlight the epidemiology, clinical aspects, paraclinical evaluation, and particularities of the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer during pregnancy.
