18F-FDG-PET in patients with malignant lymphoma having long-term follow-up: staging and restaging, and evaluation of treatment response and recurrence.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) for staging/restaging, evaluating the treatment response, and screening of recurrence in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) during long-term follow-up, and to compare that with computer tomography… (More)
