Volumetric Analysis in the Assessment of Therapy Response by CT

To compare the volumetric response achieved using semi-automated computer techniques with the uni-dimensional (RECIST) and bi-dimensional (WHO) criteria as part of clinical trials running at MSKCC, testing new agents for different types of solid tumors.

Inclusion criteria

• Registered and being treated on one of the following therapeutic protocols:

06-043, 07-052, 07-057, 07-112, 07-116, 08-093, and 08-054

• Have at least one measurable lesion* as per RECIST criteria situated in lung, liver or lymph node meeting RECIST criteria noted on a baseline CT scan.
• Baseline** and at least one follow-up CT scan to likely to be obtained at an MSKCC facility
• All patients must be > or = to 18 years old

• The measurable lesions are metastatic in the liver, lung and lymph nodes. The algorithms do not distinguish between primary and metastatic disease, therefore, in selected cases, a primary lesion such as in the liver or lung may also be assessed.

• Baseline CT are prefer but if not able to obtain for volumetric reconstructions follow up studies will still be use for other objectives if the study.

Exclusion criteria

• Pregnant or lactating women
