Lymphomas
:Example Study
History
A 29-year-old male with a history of lymphoma,
recurrent after chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.
Initial PET Results
The Initial PET study showed extensive lymphomatous
involvement in the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
The patient was scheduled for a repeat stem cell
transplantation to treat his extensive disease.
Follow-up PET Results
The follow-up-whole-body FDG PET scan after
the repeat stem cell transplantation shows
complete resolution of the lymphomatous
involvement in the neck, chest, abdomen and
pelvis, indicating a complete response to the
stem cell transplantation.
Change in Treatment
The complete response to the stem cell
transplantation is documented by PET.
Without PET, the patient would be subjected to
additional courses of therapy.
