Abstract

Although the incidence of Hodgkin’s disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is only 8% of all malignancies, they are potentially curable malignancies. The extent of the disease is the most important factor influencing relapse-free and total survival of patients. Conventional methods for staging (CT and gallium imaging) have limitations. Although gallium plays a role in the evaluation of the presence of viable tumor in residual posttherapy masses, it is not superior to CT in initial staging of untreated lymphoma.
