[Radiomics: Definition and clinical development]

Abstract

The ultimate goal in radiation oncology is to offer a personalized treatment to all patients indicated for radiotherapy. Radiomics is a tool that reinforces a deep analysis of tumors at the molecular aspect taking into account intrinsic susceptibility in a long-term follow-up. Radiomics allow qualitative and quantitative performance analyses with high throughput extraction of numeric radiologic data to obtain predictive or prognostic information from patients treated for cancer. A second approach is to define biological or constitutional that could change the practice. This technique included normal tissue individual susceptibility but also potential response of tumors under ionizing radiation treatment. These "omics" are biological and technical techniques leading to simultaneous novel identification and exploration a set of genes, lipids, proteins.
