NCCN 2026: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Presents Research on Structured Tumor Response Assessments with mint Lesion

Big congratulations to Steven Philemond and Alison Chiaramonte of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for presenting their research poster “Use of Electronic Solution Supplemented with Portfolio of Tailored Resources Improves Tumor Response Assessment for Patients” at the recent 2026 NCCN Annual Conference.

Their work dives into how their institutional investment into standardizing clinical trial response assessments leveraging mint Lesion has improved operational efficiency and data quality in real, measurable ways since implementation in 2019:

  • 32% reduction in data deficiencies found during internal audits
  • Principal Investigator use increased from 10% (2019) to 78% (2024)
  • Integration with existing clinical research workflows enhanced inter-disciplinary collaboration

Benefits/Outcomes

Data Integrity

  • Quality: Automated calculations
  • Completeness: Fields of information required before sign-offs
  • Record-keeping: Legibility, timestamps
  • Privacy: Access granted to assessments by administrators
  • Reduction in deficiencies found by internal quality assurance audits

Reduce Administrative Burden

  • Automated back-end processes, such as automatically sending assessments to Epic EMR
  • Radiologist, Investigator, and Study Team user groups avoid using manual methods and sending them around for input and sign-offs
  • Share data with trial sponsors more readily

Ease of Use

  • Define a clear workflow among stakeholders to complete assessments
  • Tumor Response Assessments are housed in one location to improve accessibility for clinical staff and audit preparedness
  • Scalable to accommodate increase in assessment volume as well as new protocol criteria and  unique protocol structures

Financial

  • Bill more accurately for assessments
  • An assessment is never 'lost' and has to be redone
