Volumetric Tumor Analysis for Breast Cancer
Goal
Goal is to accommodate basic RECIST assessment for breast cancer (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors). (RECIST is a set of published rules that define when cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable") or worsen ("progression") during treatments).
- Determine features that currently exist in Slicer
- Develop features that don't
- Provide a framework that knits features together in a comfortable workflow.
Linear Measurements
- Scroll through baseline
- Find the tumor's longest diameter (no reformat, just on orig acquisition)
- Measure the longest diameter D1(t1)
- Measure the orthogonal diameter D2(t1)
- If there are multiple tumors, measure both diams in each tumor and sum to get relative D1(t1) and relative D2(t1)
- Perform same measurements D1(t2) and D2(t2)
- Specific results to report:
- Percent change
- Absolute change
- Question: units for these values -- mm^2?
