Notes: aThe change of serum HER2 levels within 25% is defined as “Unchanged”; “Increased”: at least 25% increase before treatment; “Decreased”: at least 25% decrease than before treatment. bTumor volume (imaging diagnosis) changes within 20% are defined as “Unchanged”; “Aggravation”: at least a 20% increase since treatment started; “Remission”: at least a 20% decrease since treatment started.
Abbreviation: κ, weighted kappa index.
