    The 18 F-fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomog-20 raphy( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) is widely used to stage and monitor treatment responses in patien 21 -ts with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the predictive ability of 18 F-FDG 22 PET/CT metabolic parameters varies across studies. In this study, the third quartile of liver u 23 -ptake values was used as a threshold to measure metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total 24 lesion glycolysis (TLG) in patients both before and after 3-4 cycles of R-CHOP treatment. Thi 25 -s study aimed to explore the correlation between MTV and TLG and the prognosis of patie-26 nts with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The results indicate that TLG may be able to disting 27 -uish patients with poor prognosis among those with Ann Arbor staging of stage I-II, and Δ 28 -TLG may distinguish patients with good prognosis among those with 5-PS score >3.
