Background: Differentiating seminomas from nonseminomas is crucial for formulating optimal treatment strategies for testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). Therefore, our study aimed to develop and validate a clinical-radiomics model for this purpose.
Methods: In this study, 221 patients with TGCTs confirmed by pathology from four hospitals were enrolled and classified into training (n = 126), internal validation (n = 55) and external test (n = 40) cohorts. Radiomics features were extracted from the CT images. After feature selection, we constructed a clinical model, radiomics models and clinical-radiomics model with different machine learning algorithms. The top-performing model was chosen utilizing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was also conducted to assess its practical utility.
Results: Compared with those of the clinical and radiomics models, the clinical-radiomics model demonstrated the highest discriminatory ability, with AUCs of 0.918 (95 % CI: 0.870 - 0.966), 0.909 (95 % CI: 0.829 - 0.988) and 0.839 (95 % CI: 0.709 - 0.968) in the training, validation and test cohorts, respectively. Moreover, DCA confirmed that the combined model had a greater net benefit in predicting seminomas and nonseminomas.
Conclusion: The clinical-radiomics model serves as a potential tool for noninvasive differentiation between testicular seminomas and nonseminomas, offering valuable guidance for clinical treatment.

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.

Background: Quantitative blood oxygenation level-dependent (qBOLD) technique can be applied to detect tissue damage and changes in hemodynamic in gliomas. It is not known whether qBOLD-based radiomics approaches can improve the prediction of isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH-1) mutation.
Purpose: To establish a qBOLD-based clinical radiomics-integrated model for predicting IDH-1 mutation in gliomas.

Rationale And Objectives: To construct and validate a clinical-radiomics model based on radiomics features extracted from two-stage multimodal ultrasound and clinicopathologic information for early predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients treated with NAC.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive women with biopsy-proven breast cancer undergoing multimodal US pretreatment and after two cycles of NAC and followed by surgery between January 2014 and November 2023 were retrospectively collected for clinical-radiomics model construction (n = 274) and retrospective test (n = 134). The predictive performance of it was further tested in a subsequent prospective internal test set recruited between January 2024 to July 2024 (n = 76).
