How is the Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Measured?
The effectiveness of chemotherapy is evaluated through various methods, including:
- Imaging tests: CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans can show changes in tumor size. - Biomarkers: Blood tests might be used to measure proteins or other substances indicative of cancer activity. - Physical exams: Physicians may assess palpable tumors or other signs of cancer progression or regression.
