Prognostic value of baseline, interim and end-of-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Methods

We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Medline databases for eligible articles. SUVmax, MTV, and TLG on B-PET/CT, DS on I-PET/CT and DS on E-PET/CT were regarded as efficacy data. Combined hazard ratios (HRs) for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using RevMan 5.3 software.

Results

Nine trials with a total of 535 ENKTL patients were included. SUVmax, MTV and TLG on B-PET/CT were significantly associated with PFS with HRs of 2.78 (95%CI 1.54-5.03), 3.61 (95%CI 1.96-6.65) and 5.62 (95%CI 1.94-16.33), respectively, and with OS with HRs of 4.78 (95%CI 2.29-9.96), 3.20 (95%CI 1.55-6.60) and 7.76 (95%CI 1.79-33.58), respectively. For the DS on I-PET/CT, the HRs for PFS and OS were 5.15 (95%CI 2.71-9.80) and 5.80 (95%CI 2.
