Staging in lymphomas
Purpose: “to modernize recommendations for evaluation, staging and response assessment of patients with lymphoma”
Authors: − Leading hematologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists,
pathologists, radiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians − Representing major international lymphoma clinical trials
groups and cancer centers
Development steps: − 11-ICML (2011) started the process − Clinical and imaging sub-committees worked during 2 years − Workshop at 12-ICML (2013) to present conclusions and
discuss main recommendations − Steering committee (lead by B. Cheson) wrote two
manuscripts (J Clin Oncol 2014;32:3048-67)
The Lugano classification: why, when and who?
Staging criteria − Imaging − Tumor bulk − Spleen and liver involvement − Bone marrow
Prognostic groups and treatment allocation Assessment of response Follow-up and outcome
Outline
Morphology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, (and molecular studies when appropriate) reviewed by an experienced pathologist
Fine-needle aspirate inadequate for initial diagnosis
Incisional or excisional biopsy preferred; core-needle biopsy acceptable when not possible the others
Material for future research (with consent)
Diagnosis of lymphomas
Staging criteria − Imaging − Tumor bulk − Spleen and liver involvement − Bone marrow
Prognostic groups and treatment allocation Assessment of response Follow-up and outcome
Outline
Recommendations are for nodal lymphomas and all DLBCL (primary extranodal –CNS, skin- have specific guidelines)
Ann Arbor stage only as component of factors in prognostic indices
PET-CT for staging of routinely FDG-avid histologies (particularly in clinical trials) strongly recommended
CT preferred in FDG nonavid lymphomas All lymphomas are considered FDG-avid, except:
─ CLL/SLL ─ Lymphoplasmocytoid/Waldenström ─ Mycosis fungoides ─ Marginal zone lymphomas

Prognostic groups and treatment allocation Assessment of response Follow-up and outcome
Outline
A single nodal mass ≥10 cm or >1/3 of transthoracic diameter as determined by TAC is retained as definition of bulky disease for Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Chest x-ray not required
Variety of sizes have been suggested for non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas to define “bulky”
Recommendation: to record the longest measurement by CT
The term “X” no longer necessary

BM biopsy has been the gold-standard for decades
High sensitivity of PET/CT for BM involvement
Hodgkin’s lymphoma: 18% focal skeletal lesions by PET/CT with only 6% BM infiltration by BM biopsy, in all cases with disseminated disease by PET/CT
DLBCL: ─ PET/CT more sensitive than biopsy ─ 27% of BM+, including 94% by PET/CT and 40% by biopsy ─ Discordant histologies issue?
Insufficient data in other histologies

CR[u]
“A large abdominal or mediastinal mass that undergoes greater than 50% reduction in size and remains stable for 2 to 4 months should not prevent classification as a CR given the absence of all other measurable disease.”
Coiffier, JCO 1989
End-of-treatment assessment is more accurate with PET/CT, especially in CRu or PR patients in HL, DLBCL and FL
PET/CT criteria eliminate CRu
PET/CT in HL: ─ Negative predictive value: 95-100%
─ Positive predictive value: >90%
PET/CT in DLBSL: ─ Negative predictive value: 80-100%
─ Positive predictive value: 50-100%
Assessment of response (end-of-treatment)
Cheson BD, J Clin Oncol 2014;32:3059-67
Five-point scale is recommended for reporting PET/CT; results should be interpreted in context of anticipated prognosis, clinical findings and other markers of response
Scores 1 and 2 represent complete metabolic response (CMR)
Score 3 also probably represents CMR in patients receiving standard treatment
Scores 4 or 5 with reduced uptake from baseline likely represents partial metabolic response, but at the end of treatment represents residual metabolic disease
Increase in FDG uptake to score 5, score 5 with no decrease in uptake, and new FDG-avid foci consistent with lymphoma represent treatment failure and/or progression
Interpretation of PET/CT scans

Prognostic groups and treatment allocation Assessment of response Follow-up and outcome
Outline
Good clinical judgment, a careful history, and physical examination are the cornerstone of patient follow-up
Specific guidelines available for the follow-up of the different lymphoma subtypes
Published studies fail to support routine surveillance scans (false-positive rate with PET is >20%)
RECOMMENDATIONS
─ Surveillance scans after remission are discouraged, especially for DLBCL and HL, although a repeat study may be considered after equivocal findings after treatment
─ Judicious use of follow-up scans may be considered in indolent lymphomas with residual intra-abdominal or retroperitoneal disease
Follow-up and outcome
