Abstract
Use of RECIST criteria is also inadequate in the evaluation of response after SBRT for hepatic metastases. Response of liver metastases to SBRT is better assessed with a combination of size and enhancement pattern. The occurrence of a lobulated enhancement during follow up is efficient to predict local progression in a specific, reproducible, and sensitive way. Patients with FDG-avid hepatic metastases are also better evaluated with PET-CT and functional criteria than routine imaging and metric evaluation alone.
