The Impact of Resampling and Denoising Deep Learning Algorithms on Radiomics in Brain Metastases MRI

Ilyass Moummad et al.

Summary: Due to long waiting times for MRI, algorithms such as resampling and denoising models are developed to speed up image acquisition time. However, the impact of these algorithms on radiomics has been poorly studied. This study aimed to develop resampling and denoising DL models and evaluate their impact on radiomics. The findings showed that DL models were able to reconstruct low resolution and noised MRI images quickly into high quality images, restoring radiomic features.

Radiomic Phenotypes for Improving Early Prediction of Survival in Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Adenocarcinoma after Chemoradiation

Jose Marcio Luna et al.

Summary: Personalized therapy for NSCLC relies on invasive biopsies. This study explores the potential of using predictive models that integrate radiomic features extracted from CT images and clinical predictors to predict the survival of NSCLC patients. The results suggest that radiomic biomarkers derived through feature harmonization significantly improve the prediction of overall survival.

Neoantigen quality predicts immunoediting in survivors of pancreatic cancer

Marta Luksza et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence that the human immune system naturally edits neoantigens in cancer, leading to the dominance of less immunogenic clones. The research also presents a model to predict how immune pressure affects the evolution of cancer cell populations.

Multitask Learning Radiomics on Longitudinal Imaging to Predict Survival Outcomes following Risk-Adaptive Chemoradiation for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Parisa Forouzannezhad et al.

Summary: In this study, the utility of a multitask machine learning radiomics framework for survival outcome prediction in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was evaluated. The study found that multitask learning of FDG-PET radiomics achieved higher survival prediction than other modalities and clinical benchmarks. The results highlight the potential importance of multitask learning radiomics in personalized cancer treatment strategies.

p73 isoforms meet evolution of metastasis

Stella Logotheti et al.

Summary: Cancer follows Darwinian selection, especially during metastasis. Tumors often co-opt developmental and tissue-homeostasis programs as a strategy to increase their fitness. The TP73 gene, a sibling of TP53, regulates various processes in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer. The different isoforms of TP73 may work together to activate specific programs that help in overcoming the barriers of metastasis. Understanding the critical isoform patterns of TP73 in tumor evolution could provide strategies for the prevention and therapy of cancer metastasis.

Tumor Heterogeneity: A Great Barrier in the Age of Cancer Immunotherapy

Nader El-Sayes et al.

Summary: Tumor heterogeneity remains a major obstacle in successful cancer treatment, arising from changes in the tumor microenvironment and leading to the presence of different malignant subpopulations within a single tumor mass. Therapeutic interventions can increase selective pressure towards resistant subpopulations, often causing relapse in previously responsive patients. Strategies such as multi-therapy regimens are being employed to combat intrinsic resistance mechanisms, especially in the field of cancer immunotherapy, where antigen escape and immunosuppression are common forms of acquired resistance.

An Automatic Detection and Localization of Mammographic Microcalcifications ROI with Multi-Scale Features Using the Radiomics Analysis Approach

Tariq Mahmood et al.

Summary: This study proposes a radiomics approach based on advanced machine learning algorithms for diagnosing pathological microcalcifications in mammogram images, providing radiologists with a valuable decision support system. An adaptive enhancement method based on the contourlet transform is used to enhance microcalcifications and suppress background and noise effectively, improving physicians' work efficiency in diagnosing breast microcalcifications.

Impact of Interobserver Variability in Manual Segmentation of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Applying Low-Rank Radiomic Representation on Computed Tomography

Michelle Hershman et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the impact of different levels of training and clinical experience on interobserver variability in manual segmentation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It concludes that accurate radiomic feature extraction for NSCLC can be achieved using segmenters of different levels of training and clinical experience, potentially allowing flexibility in producing robust prognostic imaging biomarkers for clinical translation.

Deep Radiotranscriptomics of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma for Assessing Molecular and Histology Subtypes with a Data-Driven Analysis

Eleftherios Trivizakis et al.

Summary: Radiogenomic and radiotranscriptomic studies can provide a holistic decision support system for treatment evaluation and care planning by integrating genomics, transcriptomics, radiomics, and clinical parameters. Using data-driven machine learning models, the fusion analysis of deep features and transcriptomics in non-small cell lung carcinoma shows potential for higher sensitivity and AUC compared to baseline models.
