Recommendations of the Brain Tumor Subcommittee for the reporting of trials. SIOP Brain Tumor Subcommittee. International Society of Pediatric Oncology.

Since its constitution during the 22nd annual meeting of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology in Rome in 1990, the Brain Tumor Subcommittee has worked to arrive at a consensus for reporting criteria that should be adopted when brain tumor trials are presented. This consensus is presented here concerning minimum requirements for diagnostic procedures and a systematic approach to define the extent of surgically achieved resection by a radiodiagnostic classification aided by the surgical report as well as response and remission criteria.
