Liver volumetry improves evaluation of treatment response to hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy in uveal melanoma patients with liver metastases

Abstract

In uveal melanoma patients, short-term evaluation of treatment response to hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria is challenging due to the diffuse metastatic spread. As liver enlargement can frequently be observed, this study aims to compare RECIST 1.1 and liver volumetry (LV) for the evaluation of HAIC treatment response.
