Imaging features can be useful for identifying distinct genomic differences and have predictive power for certain phenotypes attributed to genomic mutations. We aimed to identify predictive imaging biomarkers that underpin genomic alterations and clinical outcomes in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) using a radiomics approach. In 57 patients with lung SQCC who underwent preoperative computed tomography (CT) and whole-exome DNA sequencing, 63 quantitative imaging features were extracted from CT and 73 clinicoradiological features including imaging features were classified into 8 categories: clinical, global, histogram-based, lung cancer-specific, shape, local, regional, and emphysema. Mutational profiles for core signaling pathways of lung SQCC were classified into five categories: redox stress, apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation, and chromatin remodelers. Range and right lung volume was significantly associated with alternation of apoptosis and proliferation pathway (p = 0.03, and p = 0.03). Energy was associated with the redox stress pathway (p = 0.06). None of the clinicoradiological features showed any significant association with the alteration of differentiation and chromatin remodelers pathway. This study showed that radiomic features indicating five different functional pathways of lung SQCC were different form one another. Radiomics approaches to lung SQCC have the potential to noninvasively predict alterations in core signaling pathways and clinical outcome.

Introduction: Higher concentrations of the small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) serum marker, pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (proGRP), in lung inflammations has been indicated in literature. The objective of this study was to compare serum proGRP concentration in pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and early-stage primary lung cancers.
Materials And Methods: An observational study was performed to assess serum proGRP against other lung cancer markers in pneumonia, COPD and in stage 1/2 carcinomas.

Background: A growing body of research is using deep learning to explore the relationship between treatment biomarkers for lung cancer patients and cancer tissue morphology on digitized whole slide images (WSIs) of tumour resections. However, these WSIs typically contain non-cancer tissue, introducing noise during model training. As digital pathology models typically start with splitting WSIs into tiles, we propose a model that can be used to exclude non-cancer tiles from the WSIs of lung squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) tumours.

Background: Telomerase has been linked to aging and cancer. The MNS16A polymorphism in the hTERT gene plays a significant role in modulating telomerase activity and highlights the complexity of telomere-related genetics in cancer research.
Experimental Design: We genotyped 401 lung-cancer samples treated with platinum-based chemotherapy to identify the MNS16A polymorphism.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. The use of computational methods to quantify changes that are not perceptible to the human eye is increasing in digital pathology imaging and has quickly improved detection rates at a low cost. Therefore, the present study aims to use complex computational shape markers as tools for automated analysis of the spatial distribution of cells in microscopy images of squamous cell lung carcinoma (SqCC).

Background And Objectives: Squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) represents a significant proportion of human malignancies affecting various anatomical sites, including the lung. Understanding the prognostic factors is crucial for establishing effective risk stratification in these patients, as multiple critical aspects significantly impact overall survival.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 99 patients with operable lung SQCC treated at a tertiary center.
