Background: Structured reporting (SR) in radiology has been recognized recently by major scientific societies. This study aims to build structured computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR)-based reports in pancreatic adenocarcinoma during the staging phase in order to improve communication between the radiologist and members of multidisciplinary teams.

Materials And Methods: A panel of expert radiologists, members of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology, was established.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of radiomics features obtained by computed tomography (CT) examination as biomarkers in order to select patients with lung adenocarcinoma who would benefit from immunotherapy.

Methods: Seventy-four patients (median age 63 years, range 42-86 years) with histologically confirmed lung cancer who underwent immunotherapy as first- or second-line therapy and who had baseline CT studies were enrolled in this approved retrospective study. As a control group, we selected 50 patients (median age 66 years, range 36-86 years) from 2005 to 2013 with histologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma who underwent chemotherapy alone or in combination with targeted therapy.
