Comparison of gallium and PET scans at diagnosis and follow‐up of pediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract: PET appears to be superior to gallium in pediatric HL; future studies will determine the optimal timing of PET to assess early response and the utility of quantitative interpretation of the avidity of specific nodal sites.

“…Thirty patients were included in this study, 77% of whom were male. The median age was 15 years old (range, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The majority (47%) of patients were Stage II.…”

“…Many studies in adult patients with HL and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) have observed that PET is more sensitive, specific, and predictive of disease relapse than conventional imaging methods such as CT or gallium scans (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). However, because of the limited experience in children and the potential effect of certain anatomic and physiologic features, the interpretation of PET results can be challenging.…”

“…In general, routine bone scintigraphy seems to be of limited value in the clinical assessment of children with malignant lymphoma unless there are specific osseous symptoms. FDG-PET has replaced the 67 Ga scintigraphy for evaluating children and younger adults with newly diagnosed HD [5]. Experience of OC is limited and is also not uniformly informative with regards to diagnostic investigation for malignant transformation.…”

“…[47,48] All histological types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) can be successfully imaged with FDG-PET, with no significant difference in SUV among different sites and grades of disease both in Hodgkin's disease (HD) and aggressive NHL [ Figure 7]. [48] For some subtypes of low-grade lymphoma (follicular, small lymphocytic and probably mantle cell lymphoma), the routine use of PET is still an issue that needs further evaluation.…”
