摘要

Purpose: Targeted therapy can lead to considerable tumor reduction and may result initially in altered tissue at constant tumor size. In this setting, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) can be inadequate for assessing early treatment response. Choi-criteria combine both size and density measurements. Our purpose was to evaluate computed tomography (CT) images of melanoma patients under BRAF-inhibitor therapy according to Choi-criteria which were adapted to our study (aChoi). Material and Methods: Twelve patients (four male, eight female, mean age 49) with stage IV melanoma treated with a BRAF inhibitor were included. Response was assessed according to RECIST for 39 lesions in contrast-enhanced CT. Target volumes are semiautomatically segmented to calculate mean density for aChoi-criteria, thus using a two-dimensional nonstandardized region of interest could be prevented. Results: Eight patients are RECIST responders. aChoi-criteria indicate therapy response earlier compared to RECIST in five of eight patients. In seven cases, tumor density in CT had decreased 8 weeks after therapy start, whereas in some cases tumor size diminished less or even increased. Response according to aChoi was diagnosed in seven patients who showed in RECIST-evaluation stable disease in five and partial response in two cases. Fifteen weeks after therapy start almost all patients within the aChoi responders were RECIST responders, too. Only one aChoi responder showed still stable disease in RECIST. Conclusion: Our initial data indicate that aChoi-criteria can reflect response to vemurafenib earlier compared to RECIST. This is of clinical significance as BRAF-inhibitors are cost-intensive targeted therapies and can cause severe side effects, so criteria for early therapy response have to be evaluated.
