Introduction: Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is an indolent disease: despite the efficacy of treatment strategies in inducing remission, high risk patients relapse within two years and others on long term. Despite encouraging studies prognostic role Total Metabolic Tumor Volume (TMTV) SUVmax at baseline PET/CT needs to be better defined. Methods: Retrospective observational monocentric cohort study p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnosis value of integrated positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) with lung masses, this study emphasized the correlation between tumor size and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in selected regions of interest (ROI) of lung masses. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 85 patients with solid pulmonary lesions...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between standardized uptake value (SUV), obtained from [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET), and treatment response and survival of inoperable NSCLC patients treated with high dose radiotherapy. Fifty-one patients were included, recording stage, performance, weight loss, tumour volume, histology, lymph node invo...

We consider the problem of representing the spatial metabolic activity of sarcomas, an infrequent form of cancer affecting soft tissue, cartilage and bone. The typical treatment protocol for sarcoma tumors is surgical resection, generally preceded by chemotherapy in advanced cases. The median survival time for patients with sarcoma is about five years after surgery. Sarcoma patients are usually...

ABSTRACT Objective Chromosome 1p/19q deletion is an established prognostic and predictive marker in the WHO grade III oligodendroglial tumours (OT). To estimate the genetic status preoperatively, the authors investigated the correlation between the uptake of C-methionine in positron emission t...

ID: 18746 Title: FDG-PET Histogram Distances: Novel Predictors of Tumor Response to Chemoradiotherapy Purpose: To examine the accuracy of FGD-PET histogram distances as predictors of pathologic tumor response to chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) in esophageal cancer. Methods: Twenty patients were included. A rigid registration was used to align the post-CRT PET/CT with the pre-CRT PET/CT images. The pri...
