WHO Criteria (1979)
Measure the sum of the products of diameters (SPD), bidimensional
Complete Response: tumor not detected for at least 4 weeks
Partial Response: ≥50% reduction in the SPD from baseline also confirmed at 4 weeks
Progressive Disease: ≥25% increase in tumor size in one or more lesions
Stable Disease: Neither partial response nor progressive disease

RECIST 1.0 (2000)
Measure the longest dimension, minimum size = 10mm at spiral CT, 20mm at conventional CT
Ten target lesions measured, 5 per organ
Complete Response: Disappearance of all lesions for >4 weeks
Progressive Disease: ≥ 20% increase from nadir
Partial Response: ≥ 30% decrease from baseline
Stable Disease: Neither partial response nor progressive disease

RECIST 1.1 (2009)
Measure the sum of longest diameters (SOD) except in lymph nodes
Lymph nodes short axis: target lesions ≥15mm, non-target lesions = 10-15mm, non-pathological lesions < 10mm
Measure five target lesions (2 per organ); minimum size = 10mm
Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions for >4 weeks, any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) reduction in sort axis to <10mm
Partial Response: At least 30% decrease in the SOD
Progressive Disease: >20% increase in the SOD
Stable Disease: Neither partial response nor progressive disease

Immune-Related RECIST (iRECIST)
Modification of RECIST v1.1
Measure the longest diameter, minimum size = 10mm, except for lymph node
Lymph node short axis, minim size = 15mm
Measure five target lesions (2 pre organ); minimum size = 10mm
Complete Response: Disappearance of all lesions, and all nodes < 10mm
Partial Response: ≥30% decrease from baseline
Progressive Disease: ≥20% increase from the nadir
Stable Disease: Neither partial response nor progressive disease

Ten target lesions measured, 5 per organ
Complete Response: Disappearance of all lesions
Partial Response: ≥50% decrease from baseline
Progressive Disease: ≥25% increase from the nadir
