Additional value of volumetric and texture analysis on FDG PET assessment in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma: an Italian multicentric study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Assessment of response to therapy in paediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT has become a powerful tool for the discrimination of responders from non-responders. The addition of volumetric and texture analyses can be regarded as a valuable help for disease prognostication and biological characterisation. Based on these premises, the Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group of the Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica (AIEOP) has designed a prospective evaluation of volumetric and texture analysis in the Italian cohort of patients enrolled in the EuroNet-PHL-C2.

Methods and analysis

The primary objective is to compare volumetric assessment in patiens with HL at baseline and during the course of
