Background: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether quantitative radiomic profiles extracted from multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) profiles can predict the clinical outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) before therapy.
Methods: MR images from 93 treatment-naive patients with newly diagnosed GBM were analyzed. Through tumor segmentation, we selected 36 radiomic features. Using the unsupervised clustering method, we classified our patients into 2 groups and investigated their overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier analyses.
Results: Among the 36 radiomic features, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram parameters demonstrated a significant association with OS (P < 0.05). To validate this finding, unsupervised clustering analysis revealed 3 clusters with similar radiomic expression patterns. Clusters 1 and 2 showed a significant correlation with the radiomic features representing the tumor volume, and cluster 2 also showed a significant correlation with relative cerebral blood volume values. In contrast, cluster 3 showed an inverse relationship with cluster 2, mainly representing the radiomic features indicating the ADC and mean transit time. Although no statistically significant difference was found in OS between cluster 1 plus 2 and cluster 3, cluster 3 showed a trend toward longer OS compared with cluster 1 plus 2 (P = 0.067). After stratification by methylation status and radiomic feature clustering, patients with methylated O-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase and those included in cluster 3 had significantly longer OS (P = 0.029).
Conclusions: ADC histogram parameters are feasible prognostic biomarkers to predict the survival of patients with treatment-naive GBM. Quantitative MR profiles can predict the clinical outcomes of patients with GBM before therapy.

Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.
Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.

Background: Precise preoperative discrimination of invasive lung adenocarcinoma (IA) from preinvasive lesions (adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS]/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma [MIA]) and prediction of high-risk histopathological features are critical for optimizing resection strategies in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: In this multicenter study, 813 LUAD patients (tumors ≤3 cm) formed the training cohort. A total of 1,709 radiomic features were extracted from the PET/CT images.

Objectives: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important factor affecting the stage and prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to explore the predictive value of the stacking ensemble learning model based on F-FDG PET/CT radiomic features and clinical risk factors for LNM in lung adenocarcinoma, and elucidate the biological basis of predictive features through pathological analysis.
Methods: Ninety patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into the training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio.

Background: Tumor deposits (TDs) are an important prognostic factor in rectal cancer. However, integrated models combining clinical, habitat radiomics, and deep learning (DL) features for preoperative TDs detection remain unexplored.
Purpose: To investigate fusion models based on MRI for preoperative TDs identification and prognosis in rectal cancer.
