RECIST 1.1 Tumor Response

RECIST 1.1 (Eisenhauer et al., 2009)

Assigns the RECIST 1.1 overall response category (CR, PR, SD or PD) for a single follow-up time point from the change in the sum of target-lesion diameters, the non-target lesion status and the presence of new lesions.

Baseline sum of target-lesion diameters

Longest diameter per lesion (short axis for nodes), summed over up to 5 target lesions (max 2 per organ).

mm
Nadir sum since baseline (smallest sum on study)

Reference for progression. If omitted, the smaller of baseline and current sum is used.

mm
Current sum of target-lesion diameters

Enter 0 only if every target lesion has disappeared; a lesion too small to measure is recorded as 5 mm.

mm
All pathological lymph nodes now < 10 mm short axis

Required for a complete response designation.

Non-target lesion status

Modest enlargement of non-target lesions does not qualify as unequivocal progression.

One or more unequivocal new lesions

Equivocal findings should be followed until their nature is confirmed; PD is then dated to first detection.

How this tool works

RECIST 1.1 measures up to five target lesions (maximum two per organ) by longest diameter, or short axis for lymph nodes (target nodes must be at least 15 mm in short axis at baseline). Partial response requires at least a 30% fall in the sum of diameters versus baseline; progressive disease requires at least a 20% rise versus the smallest sum recorded on study plus an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, unequivocal worsening of non-target disease, or any new lesion. Complete response needs disappearance of all target lesions with every pathological node back below 10 mm short axis. This tool works on entered sums rather than per-lesion tables, so the user should compute the sum of diameters first; nodes that shrink below 10 mm short axis count as normal. When response rate is a primary trial endpoint, CR and PR must be confirmed on a repeat scan no sooner than 4 weeks later.
