患有非霍奇金淋巴瘤或霍奇金淋巴瘤的患者最常因与淋巴结肿大或其他疾病相关症状（如发烧，盗汗或疲劳）相似的体征或症状而就医。淋巴结肿大或脾肿大可能是在评估其他医学问题时的偶然发现，但不太常见。确定疾病的程度和准确评估反应是适当管理的必要条件。新技术提高了评估患者和进行临床试验的能力，从而带来了更有效的治疗方法。本文介绍了淋巴瘤患者的分期和评估进展，特别是正电子发射断层扫描的使用。
Patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma most often present for medical attention because of signs or symptoms referable to enlarged lymph nodes or other disease-related symptoms (such as fevers, night sweats or fatigue). Less often, enlarged lymph nodes or splenomegaly may be incidental findings during evaluation for other medical issues. Determination of the extent of disease and accurate assessment of responses are necessary for appropriate management. Newer technologies have improved the ability to evaluate patients and to conduct clinical trials, leading to more effective therapies. This article addresses the advances in staging and evaluation of patients who have lymphoma, specifically examining the use of positron emission tomography.
