How is the Effectiveness of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Measured?
Effectiveness is typically assessed through:
Imaging Studies: Techniques such as MRI and CT scans are used to evaluate changes in tumor size and characteristics. Pathological Assessment: The tumor and surrounding tissues are examined after surgery to determine the extent of residual disease. Biomarkers: Biomarkers in blood and tissue samples can provide insights into the tumor’s response to treatment.
