tumor response assessment

Tumor response assessment is a way doctors measure how well cancer treatment is working by examining changes in the size or appearance of the tumor. Using imaging scans like CT or MRI, they compare previous and current images to see if the tumor has shrunk, remained stable, or grown. These findings help determine if the treatment is effective, needs adjustment, or if other options should be considered. Standardized criteria guide these evaluations to ensure consistent, accurate assessments across different cases and healthcare providers.
