摘要: 鼻咽癌(Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, NPC)具有显著的地域分布特征,早期诊断困难且晚期患者预后较差,放射治疗是鼻咽癌的核心治疗手段,但面临肿瘤异质性高、传统影像评估主观性强等挑战。影像组学作为一种新兴技术,能够高通量提取医学影像中的深层定量特征,为鼻咽癌的精准诊疗提供了新方式。本文对影像组学在鼻咽癌诊治方面的研究进展进行了综述,并展望了其未来发展方向。
Abstract: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) exhibits distinct regional distribution characteristics. Early diagnosis is difficult and the prognosis for advanced-stage patients is poor. Radiotherapy is the core treatment method for NPC. However, it faces challenges such as high tumor heterogeneity and subjective nature of traditional imaging assessment. Imaging genetics, as an emerging technology, can extract deep quantitative features from medical images in a high-throughput manner, providing a new approach for the precise diagnosis and treatment of NPC. This article reviews the research progress of imaging genetics in the diagnosis and treatment of NPC and looks forward to its future development directions.
