The aim was to explore whether baseline total lesion glycolysis (TLG) can improve the prognostic value of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI) in primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL) patients treated with an R-CHOP-like regimen.
Ninety-four PG-DLBCL patients who underwent baseline PET/CT between July 2010 and May 2019 were included in this retrospective study. FDG-avid lesions in each patient were segmented to calculate the SUVmax, total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), and TLG. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were used as end points to evaluate prognosis.
During the follow-up period of 5 to 108 months (35.3 ± 23.5 months), high TLG and a high NCCN-IPI were significantly associated with poor PFS and OS. Total lesion glycolysis and the NCCN-IPI were independent predictors of PFS and OS. Patients were stratified into 3 groups according to the combination of TLG and the NCCN-IPI for PFS (P < 0.001) and OS (P < 0.001): high-risk group (TLG > 1159.1 and NCCN-IPI 4-8) (PFS and OS, 57.7% and 61.5%, respectively, n = 42), intermediate-risk group (TLG > 1159.1 or NCCN-IPI 4-8) (PFS and OS, both 76.9%, n = 26), and low-risk group (TLG ≤ 1159.1 and NCCN-IPI 0-3) (PFS and OS, 97.6% and 100.0%, respectively, n = 26).
Both TLG and the NCCN-IPI are independent predictors of PG-DLBCL patient survival. Moreover, the combination of TLG and the NCCN-IPI improved patient risk stratification and might help personalize therapeutic regimens.
本研究旨在探讨基线总病变糖酵解(TLG)是否可以提高接受 R-CHOP 样方案治疗的原发性胃弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(PG-DLBCL)患者的国家综合癌症网络国际预后指数(NCCN-IPI)的预后价值。
本回顾性研究纳入了 2010 年 7 月至 2019 年 5 月期间进行基线 PET/CT 的 94 例 PG-DLBCL 患者。对每位患者的 FDG 摄取病灶进行分割,以计算 SUVmax、总代谢肿瘤体积(TMTV)和 TLG。无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)被用作评估预后的终点。
在 5 至 108 个月的随访期间(35.3±23.5 个月),高 TLG 和高 NCCN-IPI 与较差的 PFS 和 OS 显著相关。TLG 和 NCCN-IPI 是 PFS 和 OS 的独立预测因素。根据 TLG 和 NCCN-IPI 的组合,患者被分为 3 组进行 PFS(P<0.001)和 OS(P<0.001)分层:高危组(TLG>1159.1 和 NCCN-IPI 4-8)(PFS 和 OS 分别为 57.7%和 61.5%,n=42),中危组(TLG>1159.1 或 NCCN-IPI 4-8)(PFS 和 OS 均为 76.9%,n=26)和低危组(TLG≤1159.1 和 NCCN-IPI 0-3)(PFS 和 OS 分别为 97.6%和 100.0%,n=26)。
TLG 和 NCCN-IPI 都是 PG-DLBCL 患者生存的独立预测因素。此外,TLG 和 NCCN-IPI 的联合应用改善了患者的风险分层,可能有助于制定个体化的治疗方案。
