In Radiation oncology (London, England)
The application of radiogenomics in oncology has great prospects in precision medicine. Radiogenomics combines large volumes of radiomic features from medical digital images, genetic data from high-throughput sequencing, and clinical-epidemiological data into mathematical modelling. The amalgamation of radiomics and genomics provides an approach to better study the molecular mechanism of tumour pathogenesis, as well as new evidence-supporting strategies to identify the characteristics of cancer patients, make clinical decisions by predicting prognosis, and improve the development of individualized treatment guidance. In this review, we summarized recent research on radiogenomics applications in solid cancers and presented the challenges impeding the adoption of radiomics in clinical practice. More standard guidelines are required to normalize radiomics into reproducible and convincible analyses and develop it as a mature field.
