This book describes the various contributions of positron emission
tomography (PET) to the management of Hodgkin lymphoma and
considers key issues in its use. A full explanation of the value of
PET in disease staging and restaging is followed by discussion of
its role in guiding individualized, response-adapted therapy in
both early and advanced disease based on assessment of treatment
sensitivity. Further chapters explore in detail the current
application of PET for determination of tumor metabolic volume and
planning of involved field radiotherapy. The book concludes by
discussing PET scan reporting in clinical practice and the rules
that have now been formally set following a number of international
workshops designed to develop standard reporting criteria based on
expert agreement. The authors are leading authorities who adopt an
interdisciplinary approach in covering the most important aspects
of the use of PET in Hodgkin lymphoma in a readily understandable
way. PET Scan in Hodgkin Lymphoma will be of value to oncologists,
hematologists, medical physicists, radiotherapists, and nuclear
medicine specialists.
