Abstract
:

High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard of care in the upfront or relapsed/refractory setting in some patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, a proportion of patients do not respond to ASCT. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) has been widely used for staging, response evaluation, and prognosis prediction. Here, we investigated the prognostic role of PET/CT in NHL patients before and after ASCT.
