Popis: ABSTRACTPurpose To explore the value of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in assessing bone marrow involvement (BMI) and prognosis in newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) before treatment.Methods This retrospective study included 201 eligible PTCLs who received pre-bone marrow biopsy (BMB) and PET/CT. The status of bone marrow (BM) by PET was assessed using a visual examination and a quantitative index (the maximal standardized uptake value [SUVmax] of BM divided by the SUVmax of the liver [M/L]).Results Totally 148 patients had no evidence of BMI by PET or BMB; BMI was detected by both methods in 16 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT for patients with confirmed BMI by BMB were 43.2% and 90.2%, respectively (κ = 0.353). In addition, 25 patients assessed by PET/CT staging (having stage I to II disease) had no evidence of BMI detected by both PET/CT and BMB. Image-guided biopsy was also recommended when PET/CT showed a focal FDG uptake outside the iliac crest. Survival analysis revealed that BMB was significant for overall survival (OS) (P = 0.020) while M/L for both progression free survival (P = 0.002) and OS (P
