Standardized MRI assessment of high-grade glioma response: a review of the essential elements and pitfalls of the RANO criteria.

ABSTRACT: Accurately evaluating response in the treatment of high-grade gliomas presents considerable challenges. This review looks at the advancements made in response criteria while critically outlining remaining weaknesses, and directs our vision toward promising endpoints to come. The 2010 guidelines from the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) working group have enhanced interpretation of clinical trials involving novel treatments for high-grade glioma. Yet, while the criteria are considered clinically applicable to high-grade glioma trials, as well as reasonably accurate and reproducible, RANO lacks sufficient detail for consistent implementation in certain aspects and leaves some issues from the original Macdonald guidelines unresolved. To provide the most accurate assessment of resp
