Comparison of PERCIST and RECIST criteria for evaluation of therapy response after yttrium-90 microsphere therapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and those with metastatic colorectal carcinoma

Conclusion 90Y therapy response can be evaluated by both RECIST and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria. However, RECIST and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer incompatibility can be seen. The anatomic methods for evaluating HCC response is relatively more accurate, whereas the metabolic parameters guided by PET/CT scan showed greater importance in response to evaluation of liver mCRC.
