The Impact of 2D Versus 3D Quantitation of Tumor Bulk Determination on Current Methods of Assessing Response to Treatment

Abstract: The 3D method of tumor volume measurement differs significantly from conventional 2D methods of tumor volume determination. Large prospective studies analyzing the usefulness of 3D tumor volume measurements and assessing possible changes in patient response categories would be required for full utilization of this more accurate method of following disease bulk.

“…Our volumetric approach has the advantage of avoiding areas of necrosis, cysts and surgical cavity, and may potentially estimate tumor size more accurately than linear methods. [15][16][17] With such measurements, volumetric analysis allows for a quantitative method of assessing early tumor change in size that appears to be associated with clinical benefit from bevacizumab treatment. Surprisingly, the same predictive significance of percentage change of enhancing tumor was not observed in a previous study using a volumetric approach.…”

“…Furthermore, recurrent glioblastomas often have imaging components that make traditional measurements challenging including irregular geometry, multifocality, and cystic or necrotic regions. Volumetric methods have the advantage of more reproducibly and precisely measuring the size of tumor, [15][16][17][18] and they are being increasingly used in this setting. For example, volumetric measurement of both the enhancing and nonenhancing tumor have been evaluated as imaging markers for treatment response, 19 PFS, and OS.…”

“…Com a introdução de novos softwares de reconstrução de imagens multiplanares e 3D, as mensurações volumé-tricas dos tumores passaram a ser consideradas na avaliação da resposta terapêutica. Poucos artigos comparam as duas formas de mensuração, unidimensional e volumétrica (Hopper et al 1996, Sohaib et al 2000, restringindo-se a lesões mais regulares. Sohaib et al (2000) afirmam que há certa limitação na acurácia e reprodutibilidade do método para lesões pequenas.…”
