[Advancements in Radiomics for Immunotherapy of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer-related deaths, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the predominant subtype. At present, immunotherapy represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) of programmed cell death receptor 1 or its ligand has been widely used in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with NSCLC. However, only a few patients can benefit from it, and reliable predictive markers for immunotherapy are lacking. Radiomics is a tool that uses computer software and algorithms to extract a large amount of quantitative information from biomedical images. A large number of studies have confirmed that the radiomic model that predicts the immune efficacy of NSCLC can be used as a new type of immune efficacy predictive marker, which is expected to guide the individualized diagnosis and treatment decisions for patients with lung cancer and has a bright application prospect. This article reviews the research progress of radiomics in predicting the immune therapy response of NSCLC, identifying pseudo-progression and hyperprogression, ICIs-related pneumonia, cachexia risk, and combining with other genomics.
