How to calculate tumor size when there are three measurements

Please forgive my math skills. But I was reading some journal articles about tumor size and prognosis. How does one get one round number to determine overall size of a tumor (e.g., 7.5X6X6). I just want to confirm that you either perform a calculation or just report on largest measurement (e.g., tumor was 7.5 CM, if looking at above numbers) 

 

I tried to find this information on the internet but could not find the information I needed without getting confused.
