Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

For cancers involving solid tumors, RECIST criteria are often used to determine how well a patient responds to an experimental treatment in a clinical trial. RECIST, or "Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors," looks at whether a patient's tumor has disappeared, shrunk, stayed about the same size, or gotten bigger. The patient's doctor measures the tumor using CT scans, MRI images, or PET scans taken before and after treatment. Based on these measurements, researchers can objectively report how each patient responded to a studied treatment.
