Purpose: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) determines partial response (PR) and progressive disease (PD) as a 30 % reduction and 20 % increase in the longest diameter (LD), respectively. Tumour volume analysis (TVA) utilises three diameters to calculate response parameters.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a pilot investigation of patients who underwent neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment and evaluation using RECIST with LD measurements and TVA with three diametric measurements, using the parameters PR (>30 % tumour regression), PD (>20 % tumour growth), and intermediate stable disease (SD).
