| Abstract | Purpose: We investigated the utility of a new baseline PET parameter expressing lesion dissemination and metabolic parameters for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and pathologic grade in follicular lymphoma (FL). Methods: Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT images of 126 patients with grade 1-3A FL were retrospectively analysed. A novel PET/CT parameter characterizing lesion dissemination, the distance between two lesions that were furthest apart (Dmax), was calculated. The total metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were computed by using the 41% maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) thresholding method. Results: The 5-year PFS rate was 51.9% for all patients. In the multivariate analysis, high Dmax [P=0.046; hazard ratio (HR)=2.877], high TLG (P=0.004; HR=3.612), and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (P=0.041; HR=2.287) were independent predictors of PFS. A scoring system for prognostic stratification was established based on these three adverse factors, and patients were classified into three risk categories: low-risk (0-1 factor, n=75), intermediate-risk (2 adverse factors, n=29), and high-risk (3 adverse factors, n=22). Patients in the high-risk group had shorter 3-year PFS (21.7%) than those in the low- and intermediate-risk groups (90.6% and 44.6%, respectively) (P<0.001). The C-index of our scoring system for PFS (0.785) was superior to the predictive capability of the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI), FLIPI2, and PRIMA-Prognostic Index (C-index: 0.628-0.701). The receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the scoring system had better differentiation and clinical utility than these existing indices. In addition, the median SUVmax was significantly higher in the grade 3A (36 cases) than in grade 1-2 FL (90 cases) [median: 13.63 vs. 11.45, P = 0.013], but substantial overlap existed (range: 2.25-39.62 vs.3.17-39.80 ). Conclusion: TLG and Dmax represent two complementary aspects of the disease, capturing the tumor burden and lesion dissemination. TLG and Dmax are promising metrics for identifying patients at high-risk of progression or relapse. Additionally, SUVmax seems to have some value for distinguishing grade 3A from low-grade FL but cannot substitute for biopsy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
