FDG-PET/CT Imaging in Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered T-Cell Treatment in Patients with B-Cell Lymphoma: Current Evidence.

ABSTRACT

The Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency have recently approved chimeric antigen receptor-engineered (CAR) T cells to treat several refractory/relapsed B-cell lymphomas. This comprehensive review aims to demonstrate the pivotal role that [18F]-FDG PET/computed tomographic (CT) imaging can play to enhance the care of patients treated with CAR T-cell therapy. To this end, this review deciphers evidence showing the diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and theragnostic value of [18F]-FDG PET/CT-derived parameters.
