COMPARISON OF RECIST (RESPONSE EVALUATION CRITERIA IN SOLID TUMORS) WITH VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENTS FOR ESTIMATION OF TUMOR BURDEN IN PANCREATIC ADENOCARCINOMA AND HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA

摘要

BackgroundRECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) is the accepted method for determining tumor progression. However, RECIST may not accurately estimate disease burden because the axial plane often does not produce the actual longest diameter. Volumetric measurements may be an alternative to better determine tumor size. Our aim was to compare volumetric measurements with RECIST in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC).
