Pt with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma. sm - traci


Posted: Nov 29, 2011

On restaging scans, ymph node measures 2.2 x 3.2 cm versus previously measuring 4.0 x 5.0 cm.  As such, the PPD is measured to 7.04 cm2, compared with 20 cm2 previously, yielding a response rate of 65%. 

Not a TB skin test or anything with TB.  Seems like a mathematical size ??  I'm stumped!

 

 

what exactly are you asking? - nodes are measured by size

Lymph nodes are measured like that, not sure why you are stumped.

Sorry. I should have "PPD". That is the measurment I can't get. - traci

Type what is said.

Nothing to do with TB. I have her last 6 months of files. sm - traci

Maybe it's TPD or PTD, but it is some sort of mathematical combination/volume of her lymph node measurements for lymphoma.

Help me :)

If you have the last 6 months of files, - then look at old file

[ In Reply To ..]
He gave a previous measurement for whatever it is, so you should be able to look at old measurement and see...

That's why I said I had the files, because I had already done that and - Knew it wasnt TB.
