影像学方法在宫颈癌同步放化疗预后及疗效评估中的研究进展
Research Progress on the Use of Imaging Methods in Prognosis and Efficacy Evaluation of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Cervical Cancer
摘要: 文章旨在介绍计算机断层扫描(Computed Tomography, CT)、磁共振成像(Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI)、核医学技术(如PET-CT等)及影像组学对宫颈癌同步放化疗预后及疗效评估中的作用。同步放化疗是局部晚期宫颈癌(LACC)患者的首选治疗方案,能够显著提高患者的生存率。随着医学影像技术的不断发展,传统影像学检查方法,如CT、MRI、US以及PET-CT等,在宫颈癌同步放化疗预后及疗效评估中发挥了重要作用。新兴的影像组学利用人工智能对MRI影像进行定量分析,基于从宫颈癌患者影像中提取的高通量特征,来建立有关患者同步放化疗治疗预后及疗效评估的预测模型。多种影像学方法及影像组学联合应用形成的评估体系为宫颈癌同步放化疗预后及疗效评估提供了重要依据。
Abstract: This article aims to introduce the role of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine technology (such as PET-CT), and imaging omics in the prognosis and efficacy evaluation of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the preferred treatment for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), which can significantly improve the survival rate of patients. With the continuous development of medical imaging technology, traditional imaging methods such as CT, MRI, US, and PET-CT have played an important role in the prognosis and efficacy evaluation of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer. The emerging imaging omics uses artificial intelligence to quantitatively analyze MRI images. Based on the high-throughput features extracted from cervical cancer patients’ images, it establishes a prediction model for the prognosis and efficacy evaluation of patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The evaluation system formed by the combined application of a variety of imaging methods and imaging omics provides an important basis for the prognosis and efficacy evaluation of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer.
