About RECIST:
RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) is a set of published rules that define when cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable") or worsen ("progression") during treatments.
The original criteria were published in February 2000 by an international collaboration including the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the United States and the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group.
RECIST 1.1, published in January 2009, is an update to the original criteria. Today, the majority of clinical trials evaluating cancer treatments for objective response in solid tumors are using RECIST.
