  • * Patients without or with residual mass, respectively.

  • Only subset of participants who were evaluated with PET after completion of therapy.

  • Data abstracted from total participants, not limited to patients who were evaluated with PET at end of therapy.

  • § Some PET scans were taken at the end of salvage therapy.

  • Some participants underwent PET multiple times.

  • Each lymphoma lesion was evaluated as the unit of analysis.

  • # Mean.

  • ** Patients with or without bulky mass before therapy, respectively.

  • NR = not reported; PD = progressive disease; PIF = primary induction failure.
