Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess and compare the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and the Choi criteria in evaluating the early response of advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) treated with sunitinib. Eighteen patients with pathologically proven advanced GEP-NENs treated with sunitinib were enrolled in the study. Pre- and post-treatment CT scans (plain, biphasic enhanced CT scan) were performed on all patients. Changes in the target tumor size and density from pre-treatment to 1.4-3.1 months after treatment were measured and recorded for each patient. Tumor responses were identified using RECIST 1.1 and Choi criteria. The time to tumor progression (TTP) for each patient was measured and compared between groups using the Kaplan-Meier method. Among the 18 patients, 4 (22%) exhibited a partial response (PR), 9 (50%) exhibited stable disease (SD), and 5 (28%) experienced progressive disease (PD), using RECIST 1.1. However, based on the Choi criteria, 8 (44%) patients exhibited a PR, 4 (22%) exhibited SD, and 6 (33%) experienced PD. According to RECIST 1.1, the median TTP of PR, SD and PD group were 16.6, 10.8 and 2.3 months, respectively. The TTP of the PR group was significantly longer than that of the PD group (P = 0.007) but insignificant when compared to the SD group (P = 0.131). According to Choi criteria, the median TTP of PR, SD and PD group were not reached, 10.8 and 2.3 months, respectively. The TTP of the PR group was significantly longer than that of the SD (P = 0.026) and PD groups (P < 0.001). The Choi criteria appear to be more sensitive and more precise than RECIST 1.1 in assessing the early response of advanced GEP-NENs treated with sunitinib.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 March 2017.
All research outputs
#18,805,293
of 23,305,591 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#5,517
of 8,440 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#239,043
of 311,923 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#74
of 119 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,305,591 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,440 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,923 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 119 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
