Even with recent advances in cancer diagnosis and therapy, treatment outcomes for many cancers remain dismal. Patients often show different response to the same therapy regimen, supporting the development of personalized medicine. 18F-fluodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has been used routinely in the assessment of tumor response, in prediction of outcomes, and in guiding personalized treatment. These assessments are mainly based on physician's subjective or semi-quantitative evaluation. Recent development in radiomics provides a promising objective way for tumor response assessment, which uses computerized tools to extract a large number of image features that capture additional information not currently used in clinic that has prognostic value. In this review, we summarized the clinical use of PET/CT and the PET/CT radiomics studies for tumor response assessment. Finally, we discussed some challenges and future perspectives.

Summary: A predictive model for acute esophagitis (AE) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) patients undergoing radiation therapy was developed based on esophagus dose and volumetric changes. The model showed improved prediction accuracy compared to traditional models and could potentially inform early plan adaptation to reduce the risk of esophagitis.

Summary: Spiculations on lung nodules, quantified using area distortion metric and spiculation measures, are important predictors of lung cancer malignancy. The study developed an interpretable and parameter-free technique for quantifying spiculations, achieving higher performance in pathological malignancy prediction compared to previous models.

Summary: ELAV/Hu factors, a conserved family of RNA binding proteins, orchestrate multiple broad programs of neuronal mRNA processing and isoform diversification in both Drosophila and mammalian neurons. Their impacts on splicing, particularly in relation to 3' UTR extensions, play vital roles in regulating neural mRNA processing events.
