About admiralonco
The oncology ADaM helper is dissolving into admiral core, one deprecation at a time.
admiralonco is the oncology companion to admiral, and it ships response-criteria recipes rather than code: RECIST, iRECIST, IMWG, GCIG and PCWG3 each arrive as a vignette plus an ADaM template. Cadence is one or two releases a year, each adding a criteria vignette. The 1.4.0 release began deprecating most of the package's own exported functions in favour of generic admiral equivalents.
