Beyond RECIST: How Digital Imaging Biomarkers Will Enhance Data in Oncology Trials

Featuring Ajay Sheshadri, MD, MSCI

 

Description

In this conversation with Dr. Sheshadri, we’ll explore advanced imaging biomarkers that offer additional depth and breadth of physiological information, not only for tumor response, but also for complications and side-effects of lung cancer therapies.

Highlights

Dr. Sheshadri explains what RECIST is and discusses its advantages and limitations.

We’re at a point where a lot of the technologies that we have might allow us to do this in a more sophisticated fashion

Comparing the standardization of protocols in oncology trials to airway trials.

“Some of the things that we measure in these airway trials, they don’t change as much as a tumor changes...”

How imaging can help clinical trial inefficiencies.

One thing that is a problem in general is the standardization of imaging…
