Our study demonstrates the superiority of volumetric criteria in improving the response assessment of BMs compared to the RANO-BM criteria. Our proposed criteria allow for evaluation of every lesion, regardless of its size or shape, better classification, and enable earlier identification of progressive disease. Volumetric criteria provide a standardized, reliable, and objective tool for assessing treatment response.
