Abstract
Objective:
The purpose of this article is to describe the imaging biomarkers of treatment response and provide an overview of anatomic imaging biomarkers.
Conclusion:
Imaging biomarkers of treatment response have evolved into the primary endpoint of response in most phase 2 studies. Anatomic imaging biomarkers are applied to depict change in tumor size in response to treatment and are currently the most commonly applied method of treatment response evaluation.
