18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Versus Bone Marrow Biopsy for the Evaluation of Bone Marrow Infiltration in Newly Diagnosed Lymphoma Patients: Real-World Clinical Management of Patients at the National Cancer Institute, México
Abstract:Background: Defining the extent of disease is essential for determining the prognosis and management of patients with Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) as the presence of advanced disease, including involvement of an extralymphatic site, is associated with inferior outcomes (Cheson et al, 2014). 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET-CT) has an excellent diagnostic performance for evaluation of bone marrow infiltration (BMI) in patients with lymphoma but it is expensive and not … Show more
