Radiomics modelling in rectal cancer to predict disease-free survival: evaluation of different approaches

Radiomics may be useful in rectal cancer management. The aim of this study was to assess and compare different radiomics approaches over qualitative evaluation to predict disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant therapy.Patients from a phase II, multicentre, randomized study (GRECCAR4; NCT01333709) were included retrospectively as a training set. An independent cohort of patients...
