Abstract

[<sup>18</sup>F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is essential for disease staging and treatment response evaluation in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In this study, we analyze <sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET scans from 1,024 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, integrating with DNA and RNA sequencing data. Using the nnUNet deep learning framework and training on both AutoPET public and in-house datasets, we identify key baseline biomarkers-including total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), Max MTV, and the standardized tumor dissemination biomarker-that demonstrate significant prognostic value. Further integrating PET biomarkers with clinical factors and LymphPlex genetic subtypes, we develop high TMTV, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and EZB-like MYC+, MCD-like, and TP53<sup>Mut</sup> subtypes as risk factors to form the ClinicalPET LymphPlex model, efficiently distinguishing patient outcomes across different treatments. Notably, high TMTV correlates with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, while elevated LDH is linked to increased metabolic activity and tumor proliferation. Collectively, our findings necessitate multimodal integration to enhance prognostic precision and advance personalized therapy in DLBCL.
