KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging Anatomy

      • Clinical Implications

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Abbreviations

          • Modified Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST)
        • Definitions

          • Modified response criteria created to assess treatment response in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM)
            • Developed in response to belief that RECIST 1.1 does not address unique shape and growth of MPM and could lead to inaccurate measurements
        • Key Concepts

          • Unidimensional measurements of pleural thickness obtained
            • Perpendicular to chest wall or mediastinum
            • Measured in 2 sites at 3 different levels on axial CT
              • Addition of 6 specific measurements: 1 univariate diameter
          • Measurement of lymph nodes and other lesions
            • Selected according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
            • Unidimensional measurements obtained
          • Total tumor burden: Addition of all measurements

        IMAGING ANATOMY

        • Baseline Measurement Guidelines

          • Imaging Parameters

            CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

            • Reassessment

              • Evaluation of Overall Response
