Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of bone marrow uptake pattern in18F-deoxyglucose(18F-FDG)PET/CT imaging before diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 156 patients with DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent bone marrow biopsy,bone marrow smear,flow cytometry and 18F-FDG PET/CT scan before treatment.Taking normal liver 18F-FDG uptake as the standard,the bone marrow uptake patterns of patients were divided into three types:focal increased bone marrow uptake(fPET+),diffusely increased bone marrow uptake(dPET+),and normal bone marrow uptake(nPET).Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method,log-rank test was used for comparison of differences between groups,and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with prognosis.Results:Among the 156 patients,17 cases were fPET+,28 cases were dPET+,and 111 cases were nPET.Clinical diagnosis of bone marrow infiltration(BMI)was positive in 21 cases and negative in 135 cases.There were 62 cases of recurrence and progression,and 18 cases of death.Univariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ,B symptoms,NCCN-IPI score,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),BMI+and fPET+were associated with progression-free survival(PFS)(all P＜0.05),while Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ,NCCN-IPI score,LDH,BMI+and fPET+were associated with overall survival(OS)(all P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ,LDH and fPET+were independent predictors of PFS(all P＜0.05).There were no independent predictors of OS in multivariate analysis.Conclusion:The bone marrow uptake pattern of 18F-FDG imaging in DLBCL patients before treatment has a predictive value for DLBCL,while fPET+is an independent risk factor for PFS.
