1.1tumor assessment as closely as possible in clinical practice by investigator's judgment.CR:Disappearance of all target lesions.
Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.
PR:Atleast 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions,taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.SD:Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD,taking as reference the smallest sum diameters.
PD:atleast a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study.In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm.
