Comparison of tumor measurements using the updated RECIST criteria version 1.1 (i, iii, v) and the modified RECIST criteria (ii, iv, vi).

RECIST v1.1 modified RECIST
i. ii.
 A: 5.3 cm  A: 3.2 cm
 B: 6.1 cm  B: 3.3 cm
iii. iv.
 A: 10.9 cm  A: 2.2 cm
 B: 3.8 cm
v. vi.
 A: 8.2 cm  A: 2.5 cm
 B: 3.8 cm

RECIST method*: Total measurement of the two longest diameters in the pleura = 10.9 + 8.2 = 19.1 cm

Modified RECIST: Total measurement = 3.2 + 3.3 + 2.2 + 3.8 + 2.5 + 3.8 = 18.8 cm

*Although additional attempted measurements (Figure 3i.) were made of the pleural tumor in the patient example for RECIST measurements, by RECIST version 1.1, only the 2 longest measurements of the pleural tumor are used in calculating the total RECIST measurement.
