Of the patients , 26 were treated with a chemotherapy regimen known to cause prolonged and sometimes permanent azoospermia ( BEACOPP -- bleomycin , etoposide , doxorubicin , cyclophosphamide , vincristine , procarbazine , and prednisolone ) and 26 with a regimen known to have a much milder effect on gonadal function ( ABVD -- doxorubicin , bleomycin , vincristine , and dacarbazine ) .
The impact of systemic chemotherapy on testicular FDG activity in young men with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Based on prior reports suggesting a positive correlation between fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and total sperm count and concentration, we sought to identify changes in testicular FDG uptake over the course of chemotherapy in young men with Hodgkin's lymphoma. ### methods Fifty-two patients with a mean age of 24.2 years (range 15.5-44.4) at diagnosis monitored with FDG PET/CT to assess treatment response for Hodgkin's lymphoma were selected for this retrospective analysis under an Institutional Review Board waiver. Of the patients , 26 were treated with a chemotherapy regimen known to cause prolonged and sometimes permanent azoospermia ( BEACOPP -- bleomycin , etoposide , doxorubicin , cyclophosphamide , vincristine , procarbazine , and prednisolone ) and 26 with a regimen known to have a much milder effect on gonadal function ( ABVD -- doxorubicin , bleomycin , vincristine , and dacarbazine ) . Each patient underwent one FDG PET/CT before treatment and at least one FDG PET/CT after start of chemotherapy. In all examinations, FDG activity was measured in the testes with different quantification metrics: maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), SUVmean, functional volume (FV) and total testicular glycolysis (TTG), and blood pool activity determined (SUVmean). ### results Testicular FDG uptake (SUVmax) was significantly associated with blood pool activity (p < 0.001). Furthermore, testicular FDG uptake metrics incorporating volume (e.g., FV and TTG) were associated with age. There was no significant change in SUVmax, SUVmean, FV, and TTG from the PET/CT at baseline to the PET/CTs over the course of chemotherapy either for patients treated with BEACOPP or for patients treated with ABVD. ### conclusion For patients undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma, there is a significant association between testicular FDG uptake and blood pool activity, but no significant changes in FDG uptake over the course of chemotherapy. Therefore, FDG uptake may not be a feasible surrogate marker for fertility monitoring in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy.
