Zusammenfassung

Die Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) stellen die aktuell am weitesten etablierten radiologischen Bewertungskriterien für die standardisierte Beurteilung des Therapieansprechens bei soliden Tumoren dar. Für das Therapiemonitoring klassischer zytostatischer und zytotoxischer Tumortherapien wurde RECIST in zahlreichen klinischen Studien erfolgreich validiert. Das Therapieansprechen neuer molekularer Therapeutika lässt sich jedoch mitunter durch die konventionelle Bestimmung der Tumorgrößenänderung, wie bei RECIST, nicht erfassen. So wurden für die Evaluierung moderner Immuntherapien spezielle „immune-related“ Response Criteria (irRC) entwickelt.

Dieser Übersichtsartikel vermittelt ein radiologisches Grundlagenwissen der für das maligne Melanom am wichtigsten Responsekriterien RECIST 1.0 und 1.1 sowie irRC.

Abstract

In the field of oncology the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) currently represent the most commonly used and validated radiological response criteria for objective treatment monitoring of conventional chemotherapy. For therapy monitoring of classical cytostatic and cytotoxic tumor therapies RECIST has been tested and successfully validated in many clinical studies. However, with the introduction of novel molecular drugs limitations of these size-based criteria became obvious due to response patterns which are not reflected by RECIST. Thus, for a comprehensive evaluation of modern immunotherapeutic agents new immune-related response criteria (irRC) were developed.

This review gives a brief overview of the most important radiological response criteria RECIST 1.0 and 1.1 as well as irRC for malignant melanoma.
