Poster summary

Head and neck cancers are heterogenous, aggressive and genetically complex collection of malignancies of the oral cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, paranasal sinuses and salivary glands. About 90% of all head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Head and neck cancers represent a unique set of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges by nature of its complex anatomy and heterogeneity. Radiomics, a subdomain of artificial intelligence holds the potential to address these barriers. Radiomics is a modern and innovative method, consists in extracting large amounts of quantitative features from digital medical images. This poster highlights the application of radiomics in patients with head and cancer in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response.
