Abstract :
[en] Abstract Mounting evidence supports the major role of [18F]FDG PET-CT in the assessment of response to chemotherapy in lymphoma. The five-point scale to grade response is becoming widely used both in practice and response-adapted trials. In 2014, a malignant lymphomas imaging working group composed of representatives from major international cooperative groups published revised guidelines concerning the role of imaging in the staging and response assessment of lymphoma. This paper summarizes the main recommendations to facilitate their clinical routine applications.
