18F-FDG PET/CT-based Prognostic Model for Predicting Outcome in Patients With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether 18F-FDG PET/CT-based prognostic model of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can predict disease progression

Detailed Description
-----------------
In this study investigators develop a prognostic model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT and test its ability for prognostic value in patients with DLBCL. PET/CT scans evaluation using the liver SUVmax as reference. Positive lesions in PET were indicated as SUVmax of residues higher than the threshold (1.6 fold of liver SUVmax) or new 18F-FDG avid lesions. 18F-FDG PET/CT-based prognostic model includes PET/CT image, dominant clinical and pathological prognostic factors to predicting disease progression during chemotherapy or survival in DLBCL.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: 18F-FDG PET/CT-based prognostic model<br>The new prognostic model is based on 18F-FDG PET/CT scans, and combined with clinical and pathological prognostic factors. | Device: 18F-FDG PET/CT<br>* 18F-FDG PET/CT will be conducted before, during and after chemotherapy. Patients were instructed to fast for at least 6 h before PET. The blood glucose level was measured to ensure that it was <200 mg/ dL. 18F-FDG was intravenously administered at a dose of 3.7 MBq/kg. Approximately 60 ± 10 min post- injection, a whole-body acquisition commenced in 6-8 bed positions (1 min/bed) using a hybrid system (PHILIPS Gemini TF) and covered from the base of the skull to the upper thigh, which was followed by CT in a non-contrast phase (modulated 100 mAs; 120 kV; slice thickness, 3 mm) for attenuation correction and anatomical localization purposes. The head acquisition was performed in one bed position (8-10 min/bed).<br>|
