Do we need a different set of response assessment criteria for tumor immunotherapy?

Antoni Ribas et al. Clin Cancer Res. .

Abstract

Tumor shrinkage induced by tumor immunotherapy may be preceded by inflammatory changes. This confounds the assessment of response rates to tumor immunotherapy. In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Wolchok et al. attempt to address this peculiarity by proposing a new set of criteria termed immune-related response criteria.
