The monitoring of patients treated with immunotherapy has highlighted a phenomenon of prolonged secondary response despite initial progression, known as pseudoprogression. Therefore, the evaluation of tumour response cannot be performed using just RECIST 1.1 criteria, which are routinely used within oncology. irRC (immune-related Response Criteria) criteria have been developed to assist; however, they currently have limitations: a two-dimensional evaluation of the tumour size, barely used in oncology today, and an absence of validation on a large cohort, and this based on various types of immunotherapy and in different indications. The strongest consensus of opinion is to continue with treatment despite RECIST progression only in cases where there is a clinical benefit to the patient.
