Abstract

In MM and related plasma cell dyscrasias, FDG-PET or PET/CT imaging are useful and reliable techniques for assistance in the diagnosis by identifying optimal sites for biopsy, for staging and restaging the tumor, for detecting extramedullary disease, and for monitoring response to treatment. They are equally effective in secretory or nonsecretory disease, with the latter developing with an increasing frequency during the course of the disease, causing difficulty in monitoring disease response or progression. FDG-PET or PET/CT imaging are also useful techniques for detecting occult infection in patients with hematologic malignancies, for finding the source of infection, and for documenting response to treatment of infection, even in the setting of severe immunosuppression. The information gained by FDG-PET or PET/CT related to infectious disease often contribute to changes in patient management. The presence of a high number of focal lesions, especially with cytogenetic abnormalities or chromosome 13 deletions, and/or the presence of extramedullary tumor, identifies patients at high risk with poor long-term prognosis who will need aggressive monitoring and treatment. Failure to achieve normalization of FDG-PET or PET/CT images after treatment identifies patients at high risk for early relapse. Progression of disease on treatment is a poor prognostic sign identifying patients in need of immediate intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
