High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) plays an important role in improving outcomes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) has been widely accepted in response assessment and prediction of prognosis in DLBCL. Here, we report the value of 18 F-FDG PET/CT pre- and post-HSCT in predicting outcomes of patients with DLBCL.
