Decoding tumour phenotype by noninvasive imaging using a quantitative radiomics approach.

ABSTRACT: Human cancers exhibit strong phenotypic differences that can be visualized noninvasively by medical imaging. Radiomics refers to the comprehensive quantification of tumour phenotypes by applying a large number of quantitative image features. Here we present a radiomic analysis of 440 features quantifying tumour image intensity, shape and texture, which are extracted from computed tomography data of 1,019 patients with lung or head-and-neck cancer. We find that a large number of radiomic features have prognostic power in independent data sets of lung and head-and-neck cancer patients, many of which were not identified as significant before. Radiogenomics analysis reveals that a prognostic radiomic signature, capturing intratumour heterogeneity, is associated with underlying gene-expression patterns. These data suggest that radiomics identifies a general prognostic phenotype existing in both lung and head-and-neck cancer. This may have a clinical impact as imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, providing an unprecedented opportunity to improve decision-support in cancer treatment at low cost.

Project description:BackgroundRadiomics and AI have been widely used in breast cancer imaging, but a comprehensive systematic analysis is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a bibliometrics analysis in this field to discuss its research status and frontier hotspots and provide a reference for subsequent research.MethodsPublications related to AI, radiomics, and breast cancer imaging were searched in the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace plotted the relevant co-occurrence network according to authors and keywords. VOSviewer and Pajek were used to draw relevant co-occurrence maps according to country and institution. In addition, R was used to conduct bibliometric analysis of relevant authors, countries/regions, journals, keywords, and annual publications and citations based on the collected information.ResultsA total of 2,701 Web of Science Core Collection publications were retrieved, including 2,486 articles (92.04%) and 215 reviews (7.96%). The number of publications increased rapidly after 2018. The United States of America (n = 17,762) leads in citations, while China (n = 902) leads in the number of publications. Sun Yat-sen University (n = 75) had the largest number of publications. Bin Zheng (n = 28) was the most published author. Nico Karssemeijer (n = 72.1429) was the author with the highest average citations. "Frontiers in Oncology" was the journal with the most publications, and "Radiology" had the highest IF. The keywords with the most frequent occurrence were "breast cancer", "deep learning", and "classification". The topic trends in recent years were "explainable AI", "neoadjuvant chemotherapy", and "lymphovascular invasion".ConclusionThe application of radiomics and AI in breast cancer imaging has received extensive attention. Future research hotspots may mainly focus on the progress of explainable AI in the technical field and the prediction of lymphovascular invasion and neoadjuvant chemotherapy efficacy in clinical application.
