Article Abstract

Background: The prognostic roles of clinical and laboratory markers have been exploited to model risk in patients with primary CNS lymphoma, but these approaches do not fully explain the observed variation in outcome. To date, neuroimaging or molecular information is not used. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of radiomic features to capture clinically relevant phenotypes, and to link those to molecular profiles for enhanced risk stratification.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we investigated 133 patients across 9 sites in Austria (2005-2018) and an external validation site in South Korea (44 patients, 2013-2016). We used T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI and an L1-norm regularized Cox proportional hazard model to derive a radiomic risk score. We integrated radiomic features with DNA methylation profiles using machine learning-based prediction, and validated the most relevant biological associations in tissues and cell lines.

Results: The radiomic risk score, consisting of 20 mostly textural features, was a strong and independent predictor of survival (multivariate hazard ratio = 6.56 [3.64-11.81]) that remained valid in the external validation cohort. Radiomic features captured gene regulatory differences such as in BCL6 binding activity, which was put forth as testable treatment target for a subset of patients.

Conclusions: The radiomic risk score was a robust and complementary predictor of survival and reflected characteristics in underlying DNA methylation patterns. Leveraging imaging phenotypes to assess risk and inform epigenetic treatment targets provides a concept on which to advance prognostic modeling and precision therapy for this aggressive cancer.

Rationale And Objectives: Double expression lymphoma (DEL) is an independent high-risk prognostic factor for primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), and its diagnosis currently relies on invasive methods. This study first integrates radiomics and habitat radiomics features to enhance preoperative DEL status prediction models via intratumoral heterogeneity analysis.

Materials And Methods: Clinical, pathological, and MRI imaging data of 139 PCNSL patients from two independent centers were collected.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate a radiomics-based machine learning nomogram using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging to preoperatively predict substantial lymphovascular space invasion in patients with endometrial cancer.

Methods: This retrospective dual-center study included patients with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were divided into training and test sets.

Objectives: In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), non-invasive alternatives to biopsy-dependent driver mutation analysis are needed. We reviewed the effectiveness of radiomics alone or with clinical data and assessed the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models in predicting oncogene mutation status.

Materials And Methods: A PRISMA-compliant literature review for studies predicting oncogene mutation status in NSCLC patients using radiomics was conducted by a multidisciplinary team.

Purpose: To predict metastasis-free survival (MFS) for patients with prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and external radiotherapy using clinical factors and radiomics extracted from primary tumor and node volumes in pre-treatment PSMA PET/CT scans.

Materials/methods: Our cohort includes 134 PCa patients (nodal involvement in 28 patients). Gross tumor volumes of primary tumor (GTVp) and nodes (GTVn) on CT and PET scans were segmented.

Background: Accurate delineation of regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for feature extraction and selection in radiomics-based prediction models.

Purpose: To develop a combined dosiomics and deep learning (DL) model for predicting grade ≥ 2 radiation esophagitis (RE) in lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, we propose a multi-task auxiliary learning approach to define accurate and objective ROIs based on radiation dose distribution (RDD) images.

Materials And Methods: Lung cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy were gathered retrospectively from hospital 1 (January 2020 and December 2022) for model development.
