ISCL/USCLC/EORTC response in viscera

ResponseLugano PET-CT–based responseLugano CT-based response
CR Complete metabolic response. Score of 1, 2, or 3* with or without a residual mass on 5PS. No evidence of FDG-avid disease. No extralymphatic sites of disease. Any abnormal size of organ at screening/baseline has returned to normal size. BM normal by morphology. 
PR Partial metabolic response. Score of 4 or 5* with reduced uptake compared with baseline and residual mass(es) of any size. Residual uptake in BM higher than normal but less than baseline. 1. ≥50% decrease in SPD from baseline of any measurable extranodal site
2. Spleen >50% regression in length beyond normal (≤13 cm)
3. No new lesions
4. No increase in nonmeasured lesions 
SD No metabolic response. Score of 4 or 5* with no significant change in FDG uptake from baseline. BM no change from BL. Fails to attain criteria for CR, PR, or PD. No clear progression or improvement. 
PD 1. Progressive metabolic disease
2. New FDG-avid foci consistent with lymphoma 
1. New extranodal site >1 cm any axis or if <1 cm, must be attributable to lymphoma
2. An increase in LDi or SDi from nadir of 0.5 cm for lesions ≤2 cm or 1 cm for lesions >2 cm
3. Regrowth of previously resolved lesions
4. In the setting of splenomegaly at BL, an increase in splenic length by >50% from BL or if no splenomegaly at BL, new increase length >2 cm from BL
5. New or clear progression of preexisting nonmeasured lesions

Based on Cheson et al.11 

FDG, fluorodeoxyglucose; LDi, longest diameter; LN, lymph node; 5PS, 5-point scale; PD, progressive disease; SDi, short axis (longest perpendicular diameter to the LDi); SPD, sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters for multiple lesions

*

5PS: 1 = no FDG uptake > background; 2 = FDG uptake ≤ mediastinum; 3 = FDG uptake > mediastinum but ≤ liver; 4 = FDG uptake moderately > liver; 5 = FDG uptake markedly > liver and/or new lesions.
