18F-FDG brain/cerebellum-to-liver ratios as prognostic factors

Share

1

The study by Dingli et al. identifies brain/liver 18F-FDG uptake ratios as prognostic indicators in multiple myeloma patients.
2

A ratio 2.5 correlates with better survival outcomes.
3

The cerebellum/liver ratio (CLIP) was introduced as a prognostic factor, showing negative impacts on progression-free survival.
4

Studies suggest an optimal threshold for cerebrum/cerebellum to liver ratios lies between 2 and 4 for prognostic evaluation.
5

Further research is needed to clarify the role of these ratios alongside existing prognostic indexes in lymphoid malignancies.
