Abstract
The role of radiotherapy in the treatment of lymphoma is rapidly evolving. The development of modern systemic therapies and the adoption of FDG-PET-scanning as metabolic prognosticators are leading to a process of refinement of the treatment regimens. In this scenario, radiotherapy utilization is decreasing in several settings, including lower risk patients, to prevent the risk of long-term complications. Over the last decade, the most relevant changes in the treatment landscape are evident for advanced stage Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The main purpose of this paper is to review radiotherapy indications in these settings, to highlight pros and cons of a PET-guided strategy for radiotherapy recommendations, and to introduce future perspectives on the combination of radiotherapy and modern systemic therapies in both frontline and relapsed setting of advanced stage Hodgkin and diffuse large B cell lymphomas.
放射治疗在淋巴瘤治疗中的作用正在迅速发展。现代全身疗法的发展和 FDG-PET 扫描作为代谢预后指标的采用,正在促使治疗方案不断完善。在这种情况下,放疗在一些情况下的使用率正在下降,包括风险较低的患者,以防止长期并发症的风险。在过去十年中,晚期霍奇金淋巴瘤和弥漫大 B 细胞淋巴瘤的治疗方案发生了最明显的变化。本文的主要目的是回顾放疗在这些情况下的适应症,强调 PET 指导下的放疗推荐策略的利弊,并介绍在晚期霍奇金淋巴瘤和弥漫大 B 细胞淋巴瘤的一线治疗和复发治疗中放疗与现代系统疗法相结合的未来前景。
