Radiology RECIST reporting arrangements

Radiology uses RECIST reporting for funded clinical trials. This operates as a joint event between trial co-ordinators/ data collectors and an appropriate radiologist. Radiologists who are sub-specialised in the particular area, such as lymphoma/ GI tumours/ GU tumours, should do this together with the trial co-ordinator.

Trial co-ordinators should make initial contact with one of the radiologists listed below and arrange a suitable time to meet and go through any scans that need RECIST. They should ensure that the radiologist knows whether the trial is using old RECIST or the new RECIST 1.1 version. This often works best if a baseline plus at least one follow-up are available. Alternatively a series for one patient can be reported. Target lesions can be recorded by the trial co-ordinator at the time, directly into the CRF.

The times below are when the consultant attends CT sessions at Barts and can review scans for trial reporting. Please note that they do occasionally take holidays so it is best to check first before coming over - or email the individual in advance:

All the above have Trust email addresses.

If any trial co-ordinator or PI is having difficulty organising RECIST reporting sessions, please contact Prof Andrea Rockall, andrea.rockall@bartsandthelondon.nhs.uk, or Manuela Antoniu, the Radiology Trail Manager, manuela.antoniu@bartsandthelondon.nhs.uk.
