Abstract

The widespread availability of functional imaging in clinical practice has revolutionized the care (staging, response assessment, surveillance) of patients with lymphoma. Using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG), the potential exists for prognostic risk stratification and therapeutic adjustment. This review focuses on personalization of therapy using these 2 modalities in 2 lymphoma subtypes: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma.
