Table 2 European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer metabolic response criteria for tumors evaluated with positron emission tomography

Complete metabolic response	Complete resolution of [¹⁸F]-FDG uptake within the tumor volume indistinguishable from surrounding normal tissue
Partial metabolic response	Reduction of a minimum of 15%-25% in tumor [¹⁸F]-FDG SUV after one cycle of chemotherapy Reduction of a minimum of > 25% in tumor [¹⁸F]-FDG SUV after more than one treatment cycle
Progressive metabolic disease	Increase in [¹⁸F]-FDG tumor SUV > 25% within the tumor region, visible increase in the extent of [¹⁸F]-FDG tumor uptake (> 20% in the longest dimension) Appearance of new [¹⁸F]-FDG uptake.
Stable metabolic disease	Increase in tumor [¹⁸F]-FDG SUV < 25%, decrease of < 15%. No visible increase in extent of [¹⁸F]-FDG tumor uptake (< 20% in the longest dimension)

Originated from [26], with permission. PET: Positron emission tomography; [¹⁸F]-FDG:

¹⁸F-fluoro-de-oxyglucose; SUV: Standardized uptake value.
