Altered Biodistribution of FDG in Hodgkin Lymphoma after Completion of High Dose Steroid Therapy: A Case Series with Important Clinical Implications.
Final Pr. ID: Poster #: CR-030
PET/CT plays an important role in assessing response to therapy in patients undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL). A negative PET/CT following completion of chemotherapy has a high negative predictive value (>95%) for disease progression, relapse, or recurrence.
