Assessment of Primary Site Response in Children With High-Risk Neuroblastoma: An International Multicenter Study [Pediatric Oncology]

Conclusion None of the methods of primary tumor response assessment was predictive of outcome. Measurement of three dimensions followed by calculation of resultant volume is more complex than measurement of a single dimension. Primary tumor response in children with high-risk neuroblastoma should therefore be evaluated in accordance with RECIST criteria, using the single longest dimension.
