| Abstract: | RECIST [1] has got limitations [2-4], such as unidimensional measurements of solid tumour lesions are used as a surrogate markers for the tumour volume. Lesions are usually not perfectly spherical in shape [5]. Thus unidimensional measurements may not always accurately represent true tumour size [6-8] and size-changes be missed [9-14]. Aim of our study was to analyse how different combinations of diameter-based measurements can predict the real volume of metastases. As inaccuracies result from deviations from ideal forms we investigated additionally whether the implementation of a shape-factor could improve our calculations. |
