Ss. Ho et al., Longitudinal colour Doppler study of superficial lymph nodes in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients on chemotherapy, CLIN RADIOL, 55(2), 2000, pp. 110-113
AIMS/METHODS: A longitudinal study of 22 malignant lymph nodes by colour Do
ppler (CD) and/or colour power (CP) ultrasonography was undertaken in 12 no
n-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients to delineate changes in vascularity, and corr
elate this response with clinical outcome.
RESULTS: Reduced vascularity in response to chemotherapy was shown to be a
positive prognostic sign.
CONCLUSIONS: More persistent nodal vascularity mag signify a less favourabl
e prognosis. Ho, S. S. et al. (2000). (C) 2000 The Royal College of Radiolo
