  • Descrição: : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in developed countries, which can evolve into aggressive lymphoma variants, a process called Richter transformation (RT). The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the role of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18F]-FDG PET/CT) and its semiquantitative and radiomics features in detecting RT and evaluate the impact on overall survival (OS). : One hundred and thirty-seven patients with histologically proven CLL were retrospectively recruited. PET/CT images were qualitatively and semiquantitatively examined by estimating the main metabolic parameters (the maximum standardized uptake value body weight (SUVbw), lean body mass (SUVlbm), body surface area (SUVbsa), lesion-to-blood-pool SUV ratio (L-BP SUV R), lesion-to-liver SUV ratio (L-L SUV R), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and radiomics first- and second- order variables of the lesion with highest uptake. The role of these parameters in predicting RT and OS was analyzed. : One hundred and thirty (95%) PET/CT scans were positive, showing an increased tracer uptake at the site of disease, whereas the remaining 7 (5%) scans were negative. SUVbw, SUVlbm, SUVbsa, L-L SUV ratio, and L-BP SUV ratio were significantly higher in the RT group ( < 0.001 in all cases). Radiomics first- and second-order features were not significantly associated with RT. After a median follow-up of 44 months, 56 patients died; OS was significantly shorter in patients with RT than patients without RT (28 vs. 34 months; = 0.002). Binet-stage, RT, and L-BP SUV R were shown to be independent prognostic features. : Semiquantitative PET/CT parameters such as SUVbw, SUVlbm, SUVbsa, L-L SUV ratio and L-BP SUV ratio may be useful in discriminating patients with a high risk of developing RT, whereas Binet-stage, RT, and L-BP SUV R are also significant in predicting OS.
