Both TLGtotal and MLVtotal of LNs were calculated from the patients with hypermetabolic lymph nodes (n = 38). All laboratory variables were included in logistic regression, and only the results with p < 0.1 were listed here

LDH lactate dehydrogenase, PLT platelet, IL-2R interleukin-2 receptor, SUV standardized uptake value, LN lymph node, TLG total lesion glycolysis, MLV metabolic lesion volume, MAS macrophage activation syndrome
