Abstract
A method and computer-based system is provided that assists physicians in detecting early tumor growth and allowing modification of treatment to have a positive impact on medical management, patient morbidity, outcomes and survival times. The method comprises measuring tumor volumes from radiological images to predict growth by a statistical method. The methods allow detection of increases in tumor size earlier than is currently possible and, therefore, advantageous in modifying or optimizing treatment.
