Oncology Imaging - Tumour Response Assessment with RECIST and Beyond

The purpose of this cancer imaging fellowship is to provide a comprehensive overview of imaging criteria (RECIST 1.1 in particular) to assess tumour response in patients receiving systemic therapy. RECIST 1.1 criteria are widely used in clinical trials comparing the efficacy of several therapeutic strategies.

Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) is a set of standardised guidelines for assessing treatment response in solid tumours.

A thorough understanding of these criteria, principles and subtleties is important for radiologists involved in clinical trials. Outside clinical trials, RECIST 1.1 can also be used for more comfortable interpretation of images, with structured reporting, to better communicate with oncologists. With the arrival of new, more targeted treatments in oncology, the RECIST criteria had to be adapted and new criteria developed, such as iRECIST for immunotherapy.

Each module starts with a lecture. After the lecture, you will be challenged to practise on key clinical cases. After and during the individual case readings there will be plenty of time for group discussion and Q&A with Dr. Caramella.

💻 Unilabs Academy radiology online courses are held in a virtual classroom on Zoom, allowing you to access high-quality education from anywhere in the world.
We encourage participants to engage in discussions using their cameras and microphones to recreate the face-to-face experience. In these small groups, all questions can be asked, and learn from each other with the support of the radiologist mentor.
Recordings of each session are available for review afterwards, ensuring you can revisit the material at your convenience.

This radiology fellowship is organised by Unilabs Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.
