Current prognostic classification of rhabdomyosarcoma in children requires precise measurements of the tumor. The purpose of the study was to compare the standard three-dimensional (3D) measurements with semi-automatic tumor volume measurement method concerning assessment of the primary tumor size and the degree of response to treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma in children. Magnetic Resonance Imaging data on 31 children with treated rhabdomyosarcoma based on the Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS) guidance was evaluated. Tumor sizes were measured by two methods: 3D standard measurements and semi-automatic tumor volume measurement (VOI) at diagnosis, and after 9 and 17/18 weeks of the induction chemotherapy. Response to treatment and prediction values were assessed. The tumor volume medians calculated using VOI were significantly higher in comparison with those calculated using the 3D method both during the diagnosis as well as after 9 weeks of the chemotherapy and during the 17–18th week of the treatment. The volume measurements based on the generalized estimating equations on the VOI method were significantly better than the 3D method (p = 0.037). The volumetric measurements alone can hardly be considered an unequivocal marker used to make decisions on modification of the therapy in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma.
