Objective responses for measurable lesions were reported according to RECIST 1.0 as CR, PR, SD, or PD when assessed on measurable lesions by means of CT or MRI; for bone lesions, considered to be nonmeasurable, we classified responses according to RECIST 1.0 as CR, incomplete response/SD, or PD (see Methods). The response assessed by PET was reported as CMR, PMR, SMD, or progressive metabolic disease (see Methods). For other manifestations (eg, endocrine abnormalities and skin lesions), we provided descriptive responses. PET was performed at baseline and repeated only in patients with pathologic findings.

CMR, complete metabolic response; SMD, stable metabolic disease.
