PURPOSE: To compare revised Choi criteria that incorporate concurrent size and attenuation changes at early follow-up imaging with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors ( RECIST Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors ) 1.1 and original Choi criteria in stratification of clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma ( mRCC metastatic renal cell carcinoma ) treated with sunitinib. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board approved this retrospective study and waived informed consent. Baseline and first follow-up computed tomographic scans in 69 patients (50 men, 19 women; mean age, 60.3 years; range, 19-83 years) with mRCC metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib from October 1, 2008, to March 1, 2013, were evaluated for tumor response by using RECIST Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1, original Choi criteria, and revised Choi criteria. Correlations with overall survival ( OS overall survival ) and progression-free survival ( PFS progression-free survival ) were compared and stratified according to each radiologic criteria with Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: Median follow-up time was 29.7 months (95% confidence interval [ CI confidence interval ]: 18.9, 45.9). Response according to revised Choi criteria was independently correlated with OS overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.47 [95% CI confidence interval : 0.23, 0.99]; P = .046) and PFS progression-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.53 [95% CI confidence interval : 0.29, 0.99]; P = .047). Response according to RECIST Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors was not significantly correlated with OS overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.65 [95% CI confidence interval : 0.27, 1.58]; P = .344) or PFS progression-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.89 [95% CI confidence interval : 0.42, 1.91]; P = .768). Response according to original Choi criteria was not significantly correlated with OS overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.60 [95% CI confidence interval : 0.32, 1.11]; P = .106) or PFS progression-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.59 [95% CI confidence interval : 0.34, 1.02]; P = .060). Median OS overall survival and PFS progression-free survival in responders according to revised Choi criteria was 39.4 months (95% CI confidence interval : 9.1, upper limit not estimated) and 13.7 months (95% CI confidence interval : 6.4, 24.6), respectively, compared with 12.8 months (95% CI confidence interval : 8.7, 18.0) and 5.3 months (95% CI confidence interval : 3.9, 8.4), respectively, in nonresponders. CONCLUSION: Contemporaneous reduction in tumor size and attenuation were correlated with favorable clinical outcomes. Response according to revised Choi criteria showed better correlation with clinical outcomes compared with that according to RECIST Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors or original Choi criteria in patients with mRCC metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib.
