SAKK38/07 study: integration of baseline metabolic heterogeneity and metabolic tumor volume in DLBCL prognostic model.

ABSTRACT: Several functional parameters from baseline (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography have been proposed as promising biomarkers of treatment efficacy in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We tested their ability to predict outcome in 2 cohorts of DLBCL patients receiving conventional immunochemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone [R-CHOP] regimen), either every 14 (R-CHOP14) or 21 days (R-CHOP21). Baseline PET analysis was performed in 141 patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP14 in the prospective SAKK38/07 study (NCT00544219) of the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (testing set). Reproducibility was examined in a validation set of 113 patients treated with R-CHOP21. In the
