Prognostic values of interim and post-therapy (18)F-FDG PET/CT scanning in adult patients with Burkitt's lymphoma.
CONCLUSIONS: (18)F-FDG uptake was intense in Burkitt's lymphoma, and there was a significant reduction in SUVmax during the interim and post-therapy PET/CT procedures. A ∆SUVmax of greater than 50% was a favorable cutoff point to predict the OS of Burkitt's lymphoma patients.
