"The Deauville five-point scale (Deauville 5PS, Lymphoma 5-point score) is an internationally-recommended scale for routine clinical reporting and clinical trials using FDG PET-CT in the initial staging and assessment of treatment response in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). It is incorporated in the Lugano criteria for response assessment in lymphoid malignancies9."
"complete response (CR): scores 1, 2 or 3 together with the absence of FDG-avid bone marrow lesion(s) are interpreted as complete metabolic response (CR), irrespective of a persistent mass on CT"
"stable disease (SD), also called no metabolic response: a Deauville score of 4 or 5 without significant change in FDG uptake from baseline."
"Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), any type"
"markedly increased uptake (with markedly defined as an uptake 2x to 3x > the maximum SUV in the liver) or any new lesion (on response evaluation) 1"
