Abstract
PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging has gained a prominent role in the diagnosis and staging of malignancies. In lymphoma the role of PET/CT imaging continues to evolve as the understanding of its use in prognostication and response assessment improves. Currently, many groups are studying the potential function of PET/CT imaging in helping to direct management decisions for treating clinicians. This article summarizes the most up-to-date literature surrounding the topic of PET/CT-adaptive treatment of different lymphoma subjects. Although more studies are necessary to solidify the role of PET/CT, it is clear that this imaging modality holds much promise for the development of response-adaptive treatment algorithms in the future.
