title: The Impact of 2-(18) Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in Treatment Strategy of Hodgkin Lymphoma-Current Hematologic Concepts.
abstract: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is useful in staging of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), for early response - adapted therapy and choosing an individualized therapy, and is useful in determination of disease extent in relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. Interim PET using 2-(18) fluoro-2-deoxyglucose(FDG) and low dose CT performed in one scanning session (FDG-PET/ CT) helps to predict outcome in Hodgkin lymphoma and to asses therapeutic stratification.
