Analysis of PET parameters predicting response to radiotherapy for myeloid sarcoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Positron-emission tomography (PET)-CT has recently been used for diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy for myeloid sarcoma, but there is little research on predicting the response of radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between PET-CT variables and the response to radiotherapy in patients with myeloid sarcoma.

Materials and methods

This study was conducted in myeloid sarcoma patients who received radiotherapy and PET-CT before and after radiotherapy. The response to radiotherapy was evaluated based on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer PET response criteria, and binary regression analysis was performed to assess the factors predicting reductions in the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax).
