    Abstract

    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to provide a practical review of newly established morphologic tumor response criteria for hepatic colorectal metastasis treated with bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy and a description of the patterns of early recurrence. We also discuss the respective value of these criteria and the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CONCLUSION: RECIST alone are not sufficient to assess response after bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy for hepatic colorectal metastasis. The combined use of RECIST and morphologic criteria is mandatory for optimal evaluation in this population.
