: To develop and validate a radiomic nomogram incorporating radiomic features with clinical variables for individual local recurrence risk assessment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients before initial treatment. : One hundred and forty patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 80) and a validation cohort (n = 60). A total of 970 radiomic features were extracted from pretreatment magnetic resonance (MR) images of NPC patients from May 2007 to December 2013. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used for selecting radiomic features associated with local recurrence, and multivariate analyses was used for building radiomic nomogram. : Eight contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CET1-w) image features and seven T2-weighted (T2-w) image features were selected to build a Cox proportional hazard model in the training cohort, respectively. The radiomic nomogram, which combined radiomic features and multiple clinical variables, had a good evaluation ability (C-index: 0.74 [95% CI: 0.58, 0.85]) in the validation cohort. The radiomic nomogram successfully categorized those patients into low- and high-risk groups with significant differences in the rate of local recurrence-free survival ( <0.05). : This study demonstrates that MR imaging-based radiomics can be used as an aid tool for the evaluation of local recurrence, in order to develop tailored treatment targeting specific characteristics of individual patients.

Radiomics is a method that extracts many features from medical images using various algorithms. Medical nomograms are graphical representations of statistical predictive models that produce a likelihood of a clinical event for a specific individual based on biological and clinical data. The radiomic nomogram was first introduced in 2016 to study the integration of specific radiomic characteristics with clinically significant risk factors for patients with colorectal cancer lymph node metastases.

Rationale And Objectives: To assess the predictive value of MRI-based radiomics of periprostatic fat (PPF) and tumor lesions for predicting Gleason score (GS) upgrading from biopsy to radical prostatectomy (RP) in prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods: A total of 314 patients with pathologically confirmed prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP) were included in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to the training cohort (n = 157) and the validating cohort (n = 157) in a 1:1 ratio.

Purpose: To investigate the utility of combined tumour and lymph node (LN) radiomics features in predicting disease-free survival (DFS) among patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and resection.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 176 ESCC patients from January 2013 to December 2016. Tumour and targeted LN segmentation were performed on venous phase CT images.

Background And Aim: In this study, a transfer learning (TL) algorithm was used to predict postoperative recurrence of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) and to evaluate its value in a small-sample clinical study.
Methods: A total of 431 cases of AGC from three centers were included in this retrospective study. First, TL signatures (TLSs) were constructed based on different source domains, including whole slide images (TLS-WSIs) and natural images (TLS-ImageNet).
Development and validation of a radiomics nomogram for preoperative prediction of BRAF mutation status in adult patients with craniopharyngioma.

Although craniopharyngiomas are rare benign brain tumors primarily managed by surgery, they are often burdened by a poor prognosis due to tumor recurrence and long-term morbidity. In recent years, BRAF-targeted therapy has been promising, showing potential as an adjuvant or neoadjuvant approach. Therefore, we aim to develop and validate a radiomics nomogram for preoperative prediction of BRAF mutation in craniopharyngiomas.
