PY - 2021 DA - 2021/03/18 TI - Prognostic superiority of International Prognostic Index over [18F]FDG PET/CT volumetric parameters in post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder JO - EJNMMI Research SP - 29 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are a spectrum of hematological malignancies occurring after solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [18F]FDG PET/CT is routinely performed at PTLD diagnosis, allowing for both staging of the disease and quantification of volumetric parameters, such as whole-body metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). In this retrospective study, we aimed to determine the prognostic value of MTV and TLG in PTLD patients, together with other variables of interest, such as the International Prognostic Index (IPI), organ transplant type, EBV tumor status, time after transplant, albumin levels and PTLD morphology.
