Validation of deauville score for response evaluation in hodgkin's lymphoma Cumulative burden of cardiovascular morbidity in paediatric, adolescent, and young adult survivors of Hodgkins lymphoma: An analysis from the St Jude Lifetime Cohort Study. After two cycles, the primary end point of the study was met: 93 (82.3%; 90% CI, 75.3 to 88.0) of 113 patients in the BV-AVD arm were PET-negative (Deauville score 1-3) compared with 43 (75.4%; 90% CI, 64.3% to 84.5%) of 57 in the ABVD arm.

Hodgkin lymphoma is treated with combined chemotherapy with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), Stanford V (a chemotherapy regimen consisting of mechlorethamine, doxorubicin, vinblastine, vincristine, bleomycin, etoposide, and prednisone), or BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone) with radiotherapy. Those with a Deauville score up to 3 were treated with an additional 2 cycles of ABVD whereas those with a positive result received 2 cycles of escalated BEACOPP plus IFRT.

Our results should be verified in larger, more consistent patient populations examined on CT scanners from additional vendors to affirm median as a robust feature across scanners and should be validated externally according to Shahzadi44 supporting clinical applicability.

Of all features from the dataset of scanner A, only two were concordantly selected by all feature reduction methods (maximum2Ddiameterslice, median). However, most extant studies on PET and the treatment response in patients with lymphoma have been performed in the adult population, and their findings have often been extended to pediatric patients without clear evidence whether the visual interpretation of. The feature median from NECT concordantly has a high sensitivity for DS4+ Hodgkin manifestations on two different scanners and thus could provide a surrogate for increased metabolic activity in PET/CT.
