Abstract

ABSTRACT 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a highly accurate staging method in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). We retrospectively compared the staging results obtained in two large cohorts of cHL patients diagnosed before (N=324) and after (N=406) the introduction of PET/CT staging in a retrospective study. In the PET/CT-staged patients, stage I disease was less frequent (16% vs. 27%, P
