Metabolic activity of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma on 18F-FDG PET/CT according to immune subtyping

Abstract Disseminated extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is associated with dismal prognosis. Hence, distinct tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) subtypes were proposed to explain their influence on ENKTL progression and help predict treatment response. In this study, we investigated the capacit...

Among 53 with only nasal FDG lesions, 52 had non-IS subtype. Among 55 with extra-nasal FDG lesions, those with IS subtype more often had adrenal (P = 0.001) or testis involvement (P = 0.043), greater MTV (P = 0.005), greater TLG (P = 0.005), and SUVmax located at extra-nasal sites.
