Patient: Robert Chen
MRN: MRN003
Date of Exam: July 12, 2024
Ordering Provider: Dr. Michael Anderson
Indication: Response assessment after 6 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy
COMPARISON: Prior CT dated March 18, 2024
TECHNIQUE:
CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis was performed following administration of
intravenous contrast.
FINDINGS:
CHEST:
Lungs: Previously identified bilateral pulmonary nodules are stable to slightly
decreased in size. Largest right lower lobe nodule now measures 1.0 cm (previously
1.2 cm). Other nodules remain unchanged.
Heart: Normal size. No pericardial effusion.
Mediastinum: No lymphadenopathy.
Pleura: No pleural effusion.
ABDOMEN:
Liver: Interval decrease in size and number of hepatic metastases. Previously
identified segment 7 lesion now measures 2.8 cm (previously 4.2 cm), representing
33% reduction. Several smaller lesions are no longer visualized on current study.
Remaining 4 lesions show decreased size.
Spleen, Pancreas, Adrenals: Unremarkable.
Kidneys: Normal.
Colon: Sigmoid wall thickening has decreased in extent, now measuring 4 cm
(previously 6 cm). Decreased associated fat stranding. Port-a-cath identified
in right chest with catheter tip in appropriate position in the SVC.
Peritoneum: No ascites. No new peritoneal disease.
Lymph Nodes: Previously enlarged sigmoid mesenteric lymph nodes have decreased
in size, largest now 1.2 cm (previously 1.8 cm).
PELVIS:
No significant change. No new pelvic masses or lymphadenopathy.
BONES:
No new osseous lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. PARTIAL RESPONSE to chemotherapy by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
2. Significant decrease in size of hepatic metastases, with largest lesion
showing 33% reduction (4.2 cm → 2.8 cm).
3. Decrease in size of primary sigmoid tumor and regional lymphadenopathy.
4. Stable to slightly decreased bilateral pulmonary nodules.
5. No evidence of new metastatic disease.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Findings indicate favorable response to current chemotherapy regimen.
Continue systemic therapy as directed by oncology team.
Follow-up imaging recommended per standard protocol.
