TEACHING POINTS

In the era of precision medicine, molecular targeted therapy (MTT)-specific personalized templates can aid radiologists in interpreting restaging scans 1. Anti-VEGF MTTs require knowledge of cancer-specific treatment response criteria (TRC) & class-specific toxicities 2. MTTs which act on targets beyond VEGF axis are associated with drug-specific toxicities. 3. Immunomodulators require familiarity with immune-related response criteria & immune-related adverse events 4. Checklist for chest imaging - subcutaneous edema (imatinib), pleural effusion (dasatinib), pneumonitis (m-TOR inhibitors), tumor cavitation (anti-VEGF MTT), pulmonary embolism (anti-VEGF MTT) 5. Checklist for abdominal imaging - decrease in tumor density (tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)), pseudoprogression  (immunotherapy), intratumoral hemorrhage (TKI), hepatic steatosis (TKI), hepatitis (ipilimumab), vascular thrombosis (TKI), cholecystitis (m-TOR inhibitors), pancreatitis (TKI), bowel complications (anti-VEGF MTT, ipilimumab)

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

1. Introduce the concept of personalized tumor reporting templates in cancer imaging 2. Discuss anti-VEGF MTTs, MTTs that act beyond VEGF axis and immunomodulators with emphasis on alternate TRC & drug toxicities 3. Illustrate findings which radiologists should look for response assessment  in drug-specific patterns
