Measurement of solid tumor response to treatment relies mainly on
imaging. WHO tumor response criteria and, more recently, RECIST
(response evaluation criteria in solid tumors) have provided means
to objectively measure tumor response in clinical trials with
imaging. These guidelines have been rapidly adopted in clinical
practice to monitor patient treatment and for therapy planning.
However, relying only on anatomical information is not always
sufficient when evaluating new drugs that will reduce a tumor's
functionality while preserving its size. Finding more reliable and
reproducible measures of tumor response is one of the most
important and difficult challenges facing modern radiology as it
requires an entirely new approach to imaging. The aim of this book
is to address the assessment of response to treatment by adopting a
multidisciplinary perspective, just as occurs in real life in a
comprehensive cancer center. Oncologists and imaging experts
consider two cancer models, locally advanced disease and metastatic
disease, jointly exploring both conventional and advanced means of
measuring response to standard treatment protocols and new targeted
therapies.
