In September 2023, the Journal of Clinical Oncology published, the long-awaited, “RANO 2.0: Update to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria for High- and Low-Grade Gliomas in Adults.” Intended to overcome the limitations of Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for high-grade gliomas (RANO-HGG) and low-grade gliomas (RANO-LGG), these revised criteria also address challenges that have emerged when integrating features of the modified RANO (mRANO) or the immunotherapy RANO (iRANO) criteria in imaging assessments in clinical trials.
Here we review key considerations for utilizing RANO criteria in assessing glioblastoma treatments.
