Abstract:Background
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare myeloid precursor cell inflammatory neoplasia, which agonizes, maims, and even kills patients. Although clinical outcomes have steadily improved over the past decades, the progression/relapse rate of LCH remains high. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the pre-treatment metabolism parameters of baseline
