Abstract

Genomics allows the tracing of origin and evolution of cancer at molecular scale and underpin modern cancer diagnosis and treatment systems. Yet, molecular biomarker‐guided clinical decision‐making encounters major challenges in the realm of individualized medicine, consisting of the invasiveness of procedures and the sampling errors due to high tumor heterogeneity. By contrast, medical imaging enables noninvasive and global characterization of tumors at a low cost. In recent years, radiomics has overcomes the limitations of human visual evaluation by high‐throughput quantitative analysis, enabling the comprehensive utilization of the vast amount of information underlying radiological images. The cross‐scale integration of radiomics and genomics (hereafter radiogenomics) has the enormous potential to enhance cancer decoding and act as a catalyst for digital precision medicine. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current framework and potential clinical applications of radiogenomics in patient care. We also highlight recent research advances to illustrate how radiogenomics can address common clinical problems in solid tumors such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and glioma. Finally, we analyze existing literature to outline challenges and propose solutions, while also identifying future research pathways. We believe that the perspectives shared in this survey will provide a valuable guide for researchers in the realm of radiogenomics aiming to advance precision oncology.

Radiogenomics is a new tool for precisive oncology by deeply integrating radiomics and genomics. This review deconstructs the current research status of radiogenomics through the multidimensional feature engineering of radiomics and the integration patterns of radiomics and genomics, and takes gliomas, lung cancers, breast cancers, and other common cancers as examples to show the advance of the application of radiogenomics in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of tumors.

pmc1 INTRODUCTION

In 2020, it is estimated that there were approximately 19.3 million new cancer cases and nearly 10.0 million cancer‐related deaths worldwide. 1 Cancers can arise from various cell types and organs in the human body. They are characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation, confirmed to be caused by random somatic genomic abnormalities. Through the accumulation of heritable genetic mutations, and the interactions with the surrounding microenvironment, as well as natural selection from cancer therapies, advantageous mutations can accumulate over time, while deleterious ones are eliminated. 2 This evolutionary process enables cancer to develop phenotypes that promote survival and reproduction, leading to tumor progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance. 3 , 4

However, obtaining molecular information through invasive tissue sampling not only carries the risk of complications, posing dilemmas for pretreatment decision‐making and posttreatment patient monitoring, but is also quite time consuming. Meanwhile, the spatial heterogeneity within tumors causes a challenge for targeted therapies guided by regional sampling results. These therapies may only be effective against a subset of cancer cells, leaving other cancer subclones unaffected and potentially accelerating their growth, resulting in tumor evolution and recurrence. Besides, the high cost of advanced sequencing technology has limited its widespread use in clinical settings, making it particularly difficult for patients in medically disadvantaged areas to access easily.

Medical imaging represents a distinct and highly accessible method for acquiring tumor data compared with tissue sequencing. It allows for a macroscopic mapping of tumor cells, the microenvironment, and even the tissue surrounding the tumor at the voxel level, using noninvasive or minimally invasive multimodal imaging techniques. In recent years, computer technology has been integrated into medical imaging, enabling the high‐throughput extraction of quantitative features from medical images. Advanced machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms are then employed to analyze these features, facilitating a more effective assessment of large amounts of imaging data. In contrast to traditional imaging assessment methods, radiomic features offer a more objective and robust approach to capture tumor heterogeneity and reveal clinically significant higher‐order signatures that are not discernible to the human eye. 5 Radiomics have been utilized to construct radiomic models, which have

Shown superior performance in noninvasive tumor stratification and prognosis assessment. 6 Radiomics has emerged as a valuable addition to multiomics of cancer.

Radiogenomics, a new concept combines “radiomics” and “genomics,” has gained increasing attentions. 7 , 8 It involves the integration of advanced medical image analysis and multiomics data of tumors. Its goal is to uncover the relationship between radiomics and bio‐omics to pinpoint relevant biomarkers and build elaborate markers of disease and physiology and integrate multiple omics data for tumor diagnosis, classification, treatment decision, and prognosis.

In this review, we delineated the principal components of radiomics and genomics in oncology at the methodological level, elucidating their interconnections and integration mechanisms within the framework of radiogenomics with the aim of deconstructing the comprehensive landscape of radiogenomics. We also examine recent advancements in the application of radiogenomics to prevalent cancers such as glioma, lung cancer, and breast cancer, demonstrating its significant potential to address common clinical challenges. Finally, we highlight the current methodological challenges and limitations and discuss prospective directions for future research in the field.

2 RADIOMICS IN ONCOLOGY

Radiomics is the high‐throughput mining of quantitative image features from standard‐of‐care medical imaging that enables data to be extracted and applied within clinical‐decision support systems to improve diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive accuracy. 5 , 6 In the following, we present three perspectives to illustrate the types of tumoral radiomic features obtained through various methods that can be utilized in a radiogenomics framework (Figure 1).

FIGURE 1 Schematic diagram illustrates the comprehensive integration of radiomics with omics data for precise cancer care. The first step involves collecting data resources, including imaging and biological samples. From these resources, various dimensions of radiomic features and molecular signatures of cancers are extracted and refined. Ultimately, radiomics and omics data are interconnected and integrated using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to construct accurate clinical prediction models.

2.1 Features from multimodality images

Multimodality imaging technologies, such as digital radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET), and others have been evolving for more than a century. These technologies employ different principles to capture various physical and chemical properties of tissues, offering a diverse range of imaging sequences. The radiomic features extracted from these multimodal images are often complementary, providing a multidimensional representation of tumors biology.

2.2 Features from multiscale of regions

Medical images acquired at different scales contain diverse biological information. Tumor‐level features, derived from both intratumor and peritumor regions, have been extensively utilized to characterize tumor heterogeneity. In addition, Subregion segmentation of cancers allows for multihabitat evaluation. However, it is important to note that cancer is not solely a localized disease; its occurrence, progression, and prognosis are often linked to the host organ or even the overall body condition. Radiogenomic studies have recently started incorporating the entire host organ, demonstrating predictive capabilities beyond tumor‐level profiling. 9 , 10 Anatomical multiscale radiomics enables a comprehensive assessment of cancer as a complex disease.

2.3 Approaches for feature extraction

2.3.1 Classical radiomics

Classical radiomic features are widely utilized hand‐crafted features that are extracted from preprocessed images using predefined programs and specifications (such as pyradiomics) to describe radiographic aspects of shape, intensity, and texture. 11 These features are derived from specific algorithms, which enhances their interpretability to some extent. Radiomic features are able to capture intratumor heterogeneity more effectively than the human eye, which is believed to explain the superiority of radiomics over traditional image analysis methods.

2.3.2 Deep learning

DL techniques were used to automatically learn feature representations from medical images, eliminating the need for manual feature detection. DL methods offer several advantages such as reducing the need for preprocessing steps, enabling collaborative analysis of large volumes of high‐dimensional data, and providing superior problem‐solving capabilities. DL also allows for multitasking, including tumor segmentation, classification, and prognosis. 12 , 13 , 14 Meanwhile, DL algorithms continue to evolve quickly and drive DL‐based radiomics forward.

2.3.3 Priori hand‐crafted radiomics

In recent studies, new hand‐crafted radiomic features have been extracted batchwise as biomarkers for cancers, such as brain structure connectomics, tumor location, and the tumor field effect. 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 These features differ from classical ones in that they incorporate clinical prior knowledge, enabling them to capture specific pathophysiological information. This makes them advantageous for specific clinical tasks, particularly when dealing with limited amounts of data during model training.

3 GENOMICS IN ONCOLOGY

Generally, genomics is the study of all genes and DNA sequences of an organism. However, in the context of radiogenomics, the term “genomics” is often broadened to include the analysis of RNA, proteins, and other critical biomarker data that can reflect the origin and progression of tumor cells at the molecular level. 7 Genomics should not be considered in isolation but rather in conjunction with transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other “omics” disciplines. 19 , 20 Consequently, this review aligns with the prevailing academic perspective by integrating multiomics approaches within the framework of cancer radiogenomics. This integration is essential for radiogenomics to deliver a comprehensive biological and imaging‐based understanding of tumors.

3.1 Genomics from tumor tissue sampling

Obtaining samples directly from tumor tissues, including surgical resection, biopsy, and fine‐needle aspiration, is the most commonly used method of pathology sampling for genomics. 21 In recent years, molecular pathology has played a pivotal role in facilitating precise diagnosis and informed treatment decisions for cancer, leveraging techniques such as immunohistochemical staining, in situ hybridization, and gene sequencing. 22 , 23 Furthermore, the integrated analysis of multiomics data based on high‐throughput sequencing platforms, gene chips, and mass spectrometry, enables a more comprehensive elucidation of cancer mechanisms and aids in the discovery of novel biomarkers for early cancer detection, prognosis assessment, and the identification of therapeutic targets. 19 , 24 Notably, the recently proposed spatial genomics technology holds the potential to unravel the intricacies of tumor heterogeneity, promising to localize and define tumor boundaries, subclones, and microenvironments at the molecular level. 25

3.2 Genomics from liquid biopsy

Liquid biopsy has recently emerged as a promising sampling method for obtaining multiomics information from tumors. It primarily relies on blood samples to capture circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and exosomes present in the bloodstream, and detect the tumor‐derived multiomics biological information they carry. Liquid biopsy offers several advantages, including being noninvasive, highly reproducible, enabling early diagnosis, facilitating dynamic monitoring, and overcoming tumor heterogeneity. 26 , 27 Despite being in its infancy, liquid biopsy holds promise for promoting radiogenomics by furnishing highly time‐critical and continuously observable biomolecular data (Figure 1).

4 RADIOGENOMICS

4.1 Radiogenomics for precisive oncological molecular prediction

Investigating the association between radiomics and molecular biomarkers, with the aim of substituting invasive biomarkers with noninvasive and timely imaging markers for pre‐ and post‐treatment clinical decision‐making, plays a crucial role in radiogenomics (Figure 2).

FIGURE 2 Potential enhanced clinical workflow with radiogenomics interventions. Radiogenomics offers the potential to noninvasively predict key molecular characteristics, including their temporal and spatial heterogeneity, at the initial diagnosis and posttreatment monitoring stages of cancer. This can help in discovering therapeutic targets, enhancing cancer prognosis, and predicting treatment response. Ultimately, radiogenomics can guide precision diagnosis and treatment of cancers, enhancing patient outcomes.

4.1.1 Prediction prior to treatment

Prior knowledge of tumor molecular subtypes before treatment is crucial for improved decision‐making in cancer care and is increasingly recognized as essential for neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). 28 , 29 Biopsy, the current gold standard, is inevitably invasive and prone to sampling errors due to tumor heterogeneity. Noninvasive Imaging, particularly with the emergence of radiomics, has demonstrated potential in predicting molecular subtypes throughout the entire tumor landscape, can provide a critical foundation for precise cancer treatment. In addition, by correlating with key biomolecules and pathways, biospecific radiomics features are likely to be more efficient and interpretable for determining tumor‐targeted treatment response and prognosis.

4.1.2 Spatial heterogeneity landscaping

The spatial heterogeneity of tumor molecules within tumor subregions and among metastases has been extensively documented. 30 , 31 The accuracy of biopsy results has been questioned due to the limited amount of tissue sampled. While multipoint biopsies and Sequencing may address this limitation, they also increase risks of complications. Predicting the spatial distribution of key molecules in tumors through radiogenomics has potential to improve the reliability and representativeness of tissue sampling, reduce associated risks, and even guide precision radiotherapy.

4.1.3 Molecular monitoring after treatment

Adaptive changes in the tumor genome from anticancer therapy are a key driver of treatment resistance. 32 Real‐time monitoring of these changes could underpin timely therapy adjustment and new targeted development. However, biopsy‐based molecular monitoring is often delayed and risky for repeated tests. Radiogenomic monitoring of tumor genomes noninvasively shows promise for precision medicine's timely implementation based on dynamic genomic shifts.

4.2 Radiogenomics for risk stratification and prognosis evaluation

Numbers of key biomarkers for tumor treatment and prognosis have been identified and partially implemented into clinical practice. However, even with the latest findings it is difficult to predict tumors perfectly. Radiomics’ universality, noninvasiveness, and ability to observe biological information at the tumor and even organ level make it a powerful complement to current molecular typing systems for cancer, which is expected to further facilitate precise and individualized treatment (Figure 2).

4.2.1 Prognosis stratification

Cancer outcomes, such as remission, progression, complications, death, and altered quality of life, are of paramount concern. Accurate prognosis stratification help to inform patients about the future course of disease and to guide doctors and patients in joint decisions on further treatment, as well as to facilitate of clinical research to develop new treatment options. The integration of multidimensional biological information, such as radiogenomics, promises a more comprehensive path to accurate prognosis.

4.2.2 Prediction of response to therapy

Advances in radiochemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy has provided additional options for tumor treatment. These treatments elicit diverse responses within the patient population and are accompanied by varying degrees of side effects. Tumor genomics and other invasive biomarkers are utilized to stratify patients and select appropriate candidates for therapy. However, the limitations of regional biopsies hinder the accurate prediction of treatment benefit based on molecular information. Radiogenomics is expected to leverage the respective strengths of molecular markers and imaging to facilitate precision oncology decision making.

5.1 Glioma

Gliomas are heterogeneous entities, which characterized by specific gene alter. 105 Although some gliomas are benign and have a favorable prognosis, the majority, particularly glioblastoma, are highly fatal. 106 This is not only due to the direct impact of the tumor on the structure and function of the brain, but also because of the risk of serious complications during invasive procedures against the lesion. 107 , 108 , 109 Refining medical decisions with precision for optimal outcomes at minimal cost is vital. Medical imaging plays a pivotal role in assessing gliomas noninvasively. Radiogenomics holds significant potential in predicting the molecular subtypes of gliomas preoperatively and stratifying patients’ prognosis.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 1p19q chromosome codeletion serve as the key determinants for the classification of adult diffuse glioma. 105 These genetic alterations not only indicate distinct prognoses but also guide diverse treatment strategies. In several large‐scale studies, 12 , 13 , 18 , 42 radiomic models have shown the ability to predict IDH or 1p19q status either independently or within a comprehensive framework for adult diffuse glioma. DL models often exhibit superior performance than classical radiomics, even when applied to the same dataset. In particular, Van et al.’s DL model achieved high accuracy in externally validating molecular predictions, while also in performing multitask of tumor grading and segmentation. This highlights the significant advantages of high‐performance and multitasking capabilities in DL, especially when trained with ample data. Utilizing a single model to predict subtypes of IDH and 1p19q offers greater accessibility compared with predicting them individually. Cluceru et al. 39 concluded that a three‐class model for subtyping has superior generalization capability compared with a two‐tiered approach. This may be attributed to the significant reduction in training cases during the second step of the two‐tiered pattern, whereas the three‐class approach incorporates all data for model training.

Conventional MRI is superior in displaying anatomical structures, while other advanced imaging techniques, such as diffusion‐weighted imaging and perfusion‐weighted imaging, have been developed to display or amplify microenvironmental information, providing multidimensional data for molecular prediction of tumors. Radiogenomic studies have shown improved accuracy and stability of the model, although further external validation data are still required. 39 , 46 , 50 , 110 , 111 In addition to tumor signal, features from tumor location, which have been shown to correlate with IDH status and are less influenced by image acquisition and measurement variability, as well as brain network connectome, 112 which can identify disrupted white matter tracts and reveal hidden tumor invasion, have also been incorporated into radiogenomic models to enhance accuracy and generalization in predicting IDH status. 15 , 18

Substitution of lysine 27 to methionine in histone H3 (H3K27M) characterizes a subset of highly malignant pediatric gliomas that are unresectable and exhibit rapid progression with a dismal prognosis. 105 This has been proven to be a significant prognostic factor for overall survival, irrespective of age, tumor location, or histopathological grading in midline gliomas. 113 , 114 Radiomic models utilizing Conventional MRI have achieved area under the receiver operating characteristixc curves (AUCs) ranging from 0.78 to 0.85 in identifying H3K27M in midline glioma. 115 , 116 Moreover, the integration of brain structural connectomics or diffusion‐weighted imaging has shown the ability to further enhance the precision of the models. 16 , 40 Zhou et al. 43 have recently demonstrated the efficacy of radiomic models based on amide proton transfer weighted MRI, an emerging functional imaging technique, in predicting H3K27M in pontine gliomas, with an accuracy of 0.86 in an independent prospective cohort. 43 Although current radiogenomic predictions for H3K27M still lack multicenter external validation, these findings hold great promise, particularly with the application of multimodal imaging techniques.

O6‐methylguanine‐DNA‐methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation serves as a significant molecular marker for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of alkylating agents like temozolomide, which is a first‐line chemotherapy drug for glioma. 117 Despite numerous attempts to construct radiogenomic models for the prediction of MGMT status, either the results were far from satisfactory or lacked adequate external validation. 118 The most recent systematic review indicates substantial heterogeneity in the results of MRI radiomics models for predicting the methylation status of MGMT in grade IV gliomas, with low performance observed in external validation. 119 Two large‐scale external validations of previous research findings published in 2022 and 2023 also demonstrate that these MRI‐based radiomics models are still insufficient in accurately predicting MGMT in gliomas prior to surgery. 38 , 120 A radiogenomic model based on PET indicated higher accuracy (AUC = 0.80 in cross‐validation) in predicting MGMT status, but further validation was required. 47 Nonetheless, it is worth exploring the use of multimodal images based radiomics to enhance prediction accuracy. Interestingly, the co‐occurrence of IDH mutation and MGMT methylation characterizes a subtype of gliomas with a favorable prognosis and potential benefits from temozolomide, and this can potentially be predicted using radiomic models. 37

Other molecular markers, such as alpha‐thalassemia mental retardation X‐linked (ATRX), telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), EGFR, tumor protein 53(TP53), cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B), proto‐oncogene B‐Raf and v‐Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homlog B (BRAF), cyclin D1 (CCND1), and cyclin‐dependent kinases 6 (CDK6), have also emerged as crucial factors in glioma classification, prognosis, and targeted therapy 121 , 122 and have become focal points for radiogenomic investigations. 33 , 34 , 36 , 41 , 44 , 46 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 However, currently, there is insufficient evidence to support the clinical application of radiogenomic models for these markers. Notably, Zinn et al. 51 developed a radiomics model to predict the expression level of periostin in glioblastoma, and importantly, they confirmed the causal relationship between radiomics subtypes and molecular expression through simultaneous radiomics analysis on orthotopic xenografts. As new molecular markers for gliomas are gradually integrated into clinical practice, further efforts are needed to establish substantial evidence regarding the application of radiogenomics to these relatively rare markers.

Thanks to microarray and next‐generation sequencing technologies, oncology research has made significant strides in comprehensively analyzing the molecular landscape of cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment, which goes beyond merely detecting specific genetic alterations. Several radiogenomic studies have revealed the intense associations between radiomic phenotypes and multiomics molecular subtypes and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). 71 , 72 , 73 Hu et al. 128 attempted to correlate radiomics with the genetic status of various subregions of the tumor. They collected 48 image‐guided biopsies from 13 glioblastomas and confirmed the spatial heterogeneity of genetic subtypes within the tumor, which correlated with radiomic features. Several studies have found correlations between MR radiomics prognostic phenotypes and specific molecular signaling pathways and intercellular communication in gliomas. 48 , 52 , 53 , 129 Recent studies have defined new phenotypic subtypes of gliomas based on radiomics or radiogenomics and found significant differences in survival, immune infiltration, and drug susceptibility among these subtypes, providing a better understanding of the molecular basis of phenotypic characterization of gliomas. 55 , 130 These findings reveal the underlying biological mechanisms behind radiomic models and may be used to identify potential therapeutic targets for gliomas. 53 In particular, Beig et al. 45 investigated the radiogenomic associations of MRI‐based phenotypes with transcriptomic data in male and female patients. Their aim was to identify the signaling pathways that drive sex‐specific tumor biology and treatment response in glioblastoma.

Radiomics is believed to capture tumor heterogeneity and provide additional biological information beyond the tumor, making it a valuable complement to molecular biomarkers used in clinical practice. 131 , 132 Whether in low‐grade gliomas, high‐grade gliomas, or overall diffuse gliomas, radiogenomic models showed superior performance in stratifying patient prognosis compared with classical radiomic or molecular‐clinical models. 9 , 52 , 133 By integrating genetic data such as IDH and MGMT status with radiomics, radiogenomic models can more accurately differentiate postoperative recurrence from pseudoprogression and assess the efficacy of chemotherapy. 54 , 134

5.2 Lung cancer

Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers and the leading cause of cancer‐related deaths worldwide. 135 While surgical resection remains the preferred treatment modality, advancements in chemoradiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have significantly enhanced patient outcomes and quality of life, particularly in advanced non‐small cell lung cancer. 136 , 137 , 138 Furthermore, NAT has demonstrated its role in improving resectability, delaying recurrence and progression, and prolonging survival in select lung cancer patients. 139 However, the efficacy of these therapies varies across different populations. Molecular characteristics offer valuable insights into prognosis and therapeutic benefits, 140 yet the clinical application of these biomarkers obtained through tissue biopsy is limited. Given the widespread use of chest CT and PET/CT in the preoperative assessment of lung cancer, radiogenomics holds promise in addressing the limitations of molecular markers, enabling better patient stratification, and facilitating treatment decision‐making.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations are the most prevalent targeted driver mutations in lung cancer. 141 Constant updates are being made to EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeted therapy regimens in order to combat drug resistance. 142 The choice of therapeutic agent has always relied on the accurate identification and subtyping of EGFR mutations. 143 Radiomic models have shown good to excellent performance in predicting EGFR mutations in lung cancer. 68 , 144 , 145 DL models appear to outperform classical radiomics, 146 , 147 and their combination may yield even better results. 62 Notably, an international multicenter study with a large cohort of cases developed a DL model based on the entire lung, which achieved an AUC of 0.812 in predicting EGFR status in lung cancer and successfully stratified progression‐free survival in patients treated with EGFR‐TKI. Furthermore, correlations were found between radiomic phenotypes and multiple genotypes, as well as gene pathways associated with drug resistance and cancer progression mechanisms, providing compelling evidence for the use of radiomics in predicting EGFR mutations. 148 Taking it a step further, Wang et al. 62 developed a radiomics‐DL joint model to determine EGFR mutation subtypes, including 19Del, L858R, and other mutations. Additionally, Yang et al. 63 constructed a radiomic model may aid in predicting the acquired drug‐resistant mutation T790M following targeted therapy for lung cancer, suggesting the potential application of radiogenomic models in optimizing EGFR‐targeted therapy decisions.

ALK fusion is another key therapeutic target in lung cancer, 149 and Song et al.’s CT‐based DL model yielded an AUC of 0.85 in external validation. The model also showed promising performance in predicting response to ALK‐TKI therapy, which was further validated. 66 Regarding Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS) mutation, radiomic models based on low‐dose CT scan and PET‐CT have shown good predictive performance. However, additional validation using external data is necessary. 60 , 150

Over the past decade, immunotherapy has emerged as a pivotal breakthrough in the treatment of lung cancer, revolutionizing the therapeutic landscape. 151 Despite the significant advancements made in targeting immune checkpoints, particularly the programmed death receptor 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD‐1/PD‐L1) axis, a substantial proportion of patients fail to derive benefits from PD‐1/PD‐L1 inhibitors. 151 Although CT‐based radiomic models have been developed to predict PD‐L1 expression in non‐small cell lung cancer, with AUCs ranging from 0.66 to 0.95, their performance in external validation has been suboptimal. Nonetheless, these models have demonstrated correlations with prognosis and immunotherapy response. 57 , 61 , 62 , 67 Mu et al. 68 constructed PET/CT‐based radiomic prediction models for PD‐L1 expression and EGFR mutation, and subsequently established treatment decision guidelines based on these models, along with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status scores. The clinical utility of these radiogenomic models was validated in external data, showcasing their effectiveness in guiding the selection of patients for TKIs and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy. 68 , 152 In another study, a DL model was developed to predict tumor mutational burden (TMB), achieving an AUC of 0.81 69 and was further validated in stratifying survival outcomes following immunotherapy. Additionally, several studies have demonstrated associations between radiomic subtypes and immunophenotypes, such as CD8 expression and cytolytic activity score, as well as response to immunotherapy 70 , 153

For some rare molecular alterations of lung cancer, radiogenomic studies are restricted by data size. A few studies tried to simultaneously predict multiple molecular subtypes through radiomics based on CT or PET/CT to reflect more realistic clinical scenarios. However, external data are still required for validation. 59 , 154 Notably, for the first time, one of these studies discovered that the utilization of transformer algorithms, commonly used in large language models (LLMs), for constructing radiogenomic models outperformed those based on neural networks. Furthermore, robust correlations have been observed between radiomic features, genomic features, and tumor recurrence as well as response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy in lung cancer. 58 , 64 , 65 A comprehensive profiling of these radiogenomic associations contributes to improved decision‐making and the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Recently, some studies have attempted to establish radiogenomics models to achieve better prognostic stratification of lung cancer, by combining radiomics with transcriptome, or CDK4 and TMB status. 155 , 156 Besides, Ju et al. 71 investigated the interaction between genomic and radiomic features and successfully achieved noninvasive prediction of lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. These studies show the clear potential of the integration of complementary multiscale information from imaging and genes in the stratification of prognosis and treatment response in lung cancer. Notably, by liquid biopsy, de Miguel‐Perez et al. 157 verified that dynamic expression of plasma extracellular vesicle PD‐L1 in the early stage of treatment correlated with sustained response to ICIs, and that radiogenomics modeling in conjunction with CT radiomics could further enhance the specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of the model.

5.3 Breast cancer

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide, and the characterization of its molecular markers has significantly contributed to the development of increasingly sophisticated diagnostic and treatment approaches. 158 In particular, the utilization of NAT, immunotherapies, and novel targeted therapeutic options has underscored the importance of accessing tumor biomarkers in a noninvasive manner. 159 Radiogenomics, which combines genetic and radiomic data, enhances genomics by providing voxel‐by‐voxel biological information for a heterogeneous tumor, enabling tailored therapy. Specifically, multiple imaging modalities, including mammography, ultrasound, MRI, CT, and PET/CT, are employed for diagnosis and treatment, thereby offering multidimensional data for accurate assessment of breast cancer. 160

Breast cancer is commonly classified into four subtypes based on the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and Ki‐67, namely Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2‐enriched, and triple‐negative breast cancers (TNBC). 159 Ultrasound‐based DL models have shown good performance in identifying these subtypes and distinguishing between luminal and nonluminal diseases. 81 , 86 However, classical radiomic features have shown limited predictive efficacy for HER2. 161 On the other hand, mammography‐based radiomic models have shown promising results in predicting the hormone receptor and HER2 status of breast cancer. 77 , 88 , 162 Zhang et al. 87 developed a multimodal DL model using a large cohort that combined ultrasound and mammogram data. This model achieved an accuracy of 0.84 in the internal test set and an AUC of 0.92 for predicting luminal disease from nonluminal disease, significantly outperforming clinicians.

MRI is also used in radiogenomics to differentiate molecular subtypes; yet, there are few studies with large cohorts and external validation. MRI‐based radiomic models have been shown to successfully predict HER2 expression and pathologic complete response (PCR) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and disease‐free survival. 72 , 163 Some other studies have reported that radiomic models can identify ER, PR, Ki‐67 expression, or differentiate luminal A from other immunohistochemical subtypes, but all of them have only been internally or cross‐validated. 75 , 76 , 79 , 164 However, it has been observed that transfer learning can partially compensate for the lack of training data in DL, and ML algorithms may outperform DL algorithms when data are limited. Additionally, incorporating features from the peritumor region and perfusion images may improve the predictive ability of the model. Jiang et al. 74 validated in an external dataset that MRI‐based radiomic models could identify TNBC and distinguish internal subtypes of TNBC with favorable performance. Furthermore, an association was found between peritumoral radiomic features and immune suppression and upregulated fatty acid synthesis. Fan et al. 85 developed a radiomic model based on multiple hemodynamic subregions by referencing the unsupervised segmentation of intra‐ and extratumor regions on dynamic contrast‐enhanced images, which outperformed the simple whole‐tumor radiomic model in prediction of immunohistochemical subtypes, suggesting additional benefits obtained by delving deeper into intratumor heterogeneity from images. Interestingly, the new DL algorithm generates adversarial networks can synthesize realistic breast MRI images for training of radiomics models to predict breast cancer genotypes and mutational states. 165 Hormone receptor and/or HER2 status discordance after neoadjuvant treatment is a relatively common phenomenon and may require adjustments in post‐NAT strategies. 32 Liu et al. 73 constructed a radiomic model to predict post‐NAT discordance based on multimodality MRI. Although the sample size was small and external validation data were lacking, the results suggest that radiogenomics may provide guidance for retesting molecules and posttreatment alterations in the biology of cancer.

PAM50 subtyping of breast cancer, as opposed to immunohistochemical subtypes, offers superior stratification for disease progression, prognosis, and therapeutic resistance. 166 However, the clinical application of genomic assays is limited due to their high cost. To address this issue, a cost‐effective solution was proposed in the form of a deep transfer learning model that utilizes dynamic contrast‐enhanced images to predict PAM50 subtypes. 76 Additionally, Liang et al. 167 attempted to establish complex many‐to‐many associations between ultrasound radiomics and genomic features to screen for key radiomic and genomic features, providing clues for biological interpretation of radiomics and targeted therapeutic decisions. Gallivanone et al. 168 conducted a study correlating the MR radiomic phenotype of breast cancer with microRNAs, mRNAs, and regulatory networks to develop a radiomirnomic map. They found that the radiogenomic model provided better discrimination of breast cancer subtypes compared with miRNA or radiomics alone.

TIME is a crucial element in the progression and metastasis of breast cancer. 169 PD‐L1 and tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes are strongly associated with immune evasion by tumors and serve as vital biomarkers for the effectiveness of ICIs. 170 MRI‐based radiomic models have been shown to predict PD‐L1 expression, tumor microenvironment phenotypes based on immune cell infiltration and omics. 78 , 80 , 82 , 83 , 171 Lv et al. 84 screened for genome‐related imaging features to construct interpretable imaging phenotypes that could predict different molecular features, including hormone receptor, epithelial growth factor receptor, and immune checkpoint protein expression. While still in the early stages, radiogenomics shows potential in enhancing noninvasive preoperative evaluation of the TIME and supporting the clinical implementation of immunotherapy.

Prediction of NAC response in breast cancer is a hot spot in radiogenomics. The addition of baseline MRI radiomics to molecular markers did not significantly improve the prediction of PCR after NAC. 172 However, radiomic models based on longitudinal MRI have shown improved predictive performance in comparison with molecular subtyping. 173 , 174 Similarly, a radiogenomic model combining five variant allele frequency features of nonsynonymous mutation sites and baseline MRI was able to predict PCR to NAC in TNBC patients, and a potential relationship was found between two high‐frequency mutations and epidoxorubicin resistance. 91 Huang et al. 175 developed a radiogenomic model incorporating MRI features, ER expression, and Ki‐67, which achieved an AUC of 0.94 in predicting tumor shrinkage patterns after NAC and maintained good predictive performance across different molecular subtypes. Recently, Radiogenomic models that united radiomics and transcriptomics were demonstrated to predict axillary lymph node metastasis as well as and response to drug therapy, while gene pathway enrichment analyses showed significant differences in signaling pathway activation across risk groups. 93 DCE‐based radiomics, reflecting intratumor and peritumor hemodynamic heterogeneity, in conjunction with genomics to constitutes a radiogenomics model also showed significant potential in predicting PCR and poor prognosis in TNBC patients. 92 These studies demonstrated the significant potential of radiogenomic models in predicting treatment response. Furthermore, radiogenomic models that incorporate CT, molecular subtyping, and clinical features from multicenter cohorts have shown promise in predicting immunotherapy response in breast cancer patients. 90

5.4 Other cancers

In recent years, significant advancements have been achieved in the field of radiogenomics for various types of cancers. For example, CT‐based radiomic models have been developed to predict specific gene mutations in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), such as VHL, Polybromo‐1 mutation, and Loss 9p21.3. 102 , 176 Radiomic models have also been used to differentiate omics‐based lipid metabolism or TIME subtypes and correlate them with patient survival. 100 , 101 Unsupervised clustering of radiomic and transcriptomic features of ccRCC allows for the identification of intrinsic subtypes which exhibit unique clinicopathological, prognostic, immunological, and molecular features, and this is expected to facilitate personalized diagnostic and treatment decisions. 177 Besides, It has been found that a radiogenomic model provided more accurate predictions of overall survival in kidney cancer compared with using radiomics alone. 102 Additionally, CT‐based DL models have been leveraged to predict the mutation status of the RAS gene and DNA mismatch repair in colorectal cancer. 94 , 95 Furthermore, a radiomic model based on PET images has shown promise in predicting tumor mutation burden and its correlation with prognosis. 96 Zhong et al. 99 showed that radiomic features were associated with tumor genome subcloning, and radiogenomic signatures could serve as independent predictors of prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. In the case of liver metastases commonly found in colorectal cancer, radiomic scores have been used to determine RAS and BRAF mutation status, as well as CD73 expression. 97 , 98 For thyroid cancer, CT radiomic models could predict the status of cytokeratin 19, galectin 3, thyroperoxidase, and high‐molecular‐weight cytokeratin. 178 Recent studies showed radiomics features of prostate cancer and its bone metastases correlate with liquid biopsy monitoring of CTCs, free DNA, and genes related to apoptosis, hypoxia, and androgen receptor expression. 103 , 104 The potential of radiogenomics in cancer diagnosis and prognosis is immense; however, further works are warranted to explore its full scope, applicability, and clinical application.

6 CURRENT CHALLENGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Despite the reported successes of radiogenomics, several limitations and hurdles need to be addressed before widespread clinical adoption.

6.1 Stability and repeatability

The stability and repeatability of radiogenomic models is a key factor in their clinical translation. However, radiomic features are prone to instability caused by various factors, even though they sensitively characterize tumor heterogeneity. 179 Moreover, most of the results are based on retrospective studies with small sample sizes, which introduces bias in the data inclusion and analysis process. This makes it difficult to apply the findings to other centers and actual clinical scenarios. To mitigate these issues, standardization algorithms can be applied to reduce variations in medical images between machines and centers. 180 Besides, selecting stable features for constructing radiogenomic models is crucial. 181 In addition, improving the transparency and explainability of radiogenomics models helps to detect model hallucinations and biases and make adjustments before they are put into complex clinical scenarios. 182

More importantly, training the model using representative heterogeneous data with rigorous external validation rigorous external validation, especially in multicenter real‐world settings. We also need to assessing the general applicability of the model across different populations, because potential variation may exist in the efficacy of radiogenomic models due to differences in training data or biological factors between populations, such as race and gender. 183 This variation can potentially lead to social injustices. Therefore, it is important to effectively control bias in the training data and adequately assess and specify the scope of model applicability. 184 Finally, the open source of radiogenomics modeling code and the sharing of resources may facilitate the reproduction and further validation of modeling results by other researchers.

6.2 Explainability and interpretability

Although there are arguments that explainability of artificial intelligence (AI) is impractical, while rigorous validation of model efficacy and robustness is even more important. 185 However, we still believe that explainability of medical AI is critical and worth working towards. As radiogenomics models have become progressively complex to achieve greater predictive power, explainability decreased. DL is considered a “black box,” causing concern that it may make mistakes in complex clinical scenarios that exceed expectations, which can have a significant impact on medical decision‐making. As a tool, it is important for medical professionals to understand the scope of its use, the mistakes it can make, and the corresponding solutions. 186 In radiogenomics, there are different ways to achieve explainability and interpretability of models. One is in the feature extraction stage, where algorithms are used to extract features that reflect specific biological information about the cancer, and the association of this information with the prediction task is comprehensible, making the models constructed from features carrying biological information highly interpretable. For example, traditional radiomic features are used to quantify tumor morphology, signal intensity, and heterogeneity information, 187 and brain network features reflect damage to white matter fiber tracts. 16 DL model construction guided by biological information also has higher interpretability than direct models. 188 Second, some researchers have evaluated the model results by feature attribution (e.g., Shapley Additive Explanation), attention‐based (e.g., Class Activation Map), and example‐based methods to verify whether the model has an understandable inference mechanism. 120 , 189 These initiatives allow researchers to detect and control how radiogenomics models are performed, ensuring that they are always aligned with our clinical goals.

6.3 Data hunger

Radiogenomics increasingly craves for adequate matched images and multiomics data support. Molecular data on cancer are inherently limited due to its clinical importance, acquisition costs, and patient affordability. Fortunately, the availability of large‐volume omics and image data through increasing open datasets in recent years has facilitated the development of radiogenomics. 190 The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) are leading the way. TCIA is an extensive repository of medical images, including CT, MRI, and digital histopathology images, specifically curated for cancer research, while TCGA has cataloged genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data from thousands of cancer patients across more than 30 different cancer types. Importantly, their data are correlated. For many of the patients included in TCGA, corresponding imaging data are available in TCIA, allowing researchers to correlate omics and other molecular profiles with radiomics. TCIA and TCGA have supported numerous high‐impact radiogenomic studies that have led to new insights into cancer biology, improved diagnostic techniques, and the development of targeted therapies. Additionally, the privacy and data protection efforts of both TCIA and TCGA are exemplary for other data‐sharing projects. 191 , 192 , 193

Besides, cross‐institutional and even international collaborations are also significant in providing sufficiently heterogeneous data. Yet the distribution of costs and benefits of research and concerns about privacy are major obstacles. The establishment of equitable and mutually beneficial cooperative agreements to share research data, equipment and scientific findings facilitates reliable and stable partnerships. By adopting data anonymization techniques, such as differential privacy and federated learning, potential risks related to patient privacy during data sharing can be minimized. 194 , 195 , 196

Additionally, even with widely used imaging modalities, imaging data can be incomplete due to inconsistent imaging protocols or poor data management. Furthermore, the imbalance in data exacerbates the impact of overall insufficient data, making it challenging to train effective predictive models. Data augmentation algorithms and generative AI can be used to generate high‐quality synthetic data to compensate for unbalanced or incomplete data, enabling more effective model training. 197 , 198 Moreover, the utilization of DL algorithms such as transfer learning and self‐supervised learning holds the potential to fully leverage pretrained base models or large amounts of unsupervised data, resulting in high‐quality predictive models despite limited target samples. 15 , 199 , 200

6.4 Spatiotemporal registration in radiogenomics

The spatial and temporal genetic heterogeneity of cancers has been extensively studied and well documented. While imaging has shown potential in identifying these heterogeneities in some preliminary studies, there are still significant challenges in the field of radiogenomics, particularly in obtaining sufficient spatially and temporally based molecular data and aligning them with images. The ability to perform virtual biopsies of multiple regions or lesions and continuously monitor molecular changes within tumors is still a major challenge in terms of experimental design and execution. Fortunately, advances in spatiotemporal omics and liquid biopsy technology hold promise for the acquisition of spatiotemporal molecular data of cancers, and may present significant opportunities for decoding of spatiotemporal heterogeneity of cancers using radiogenomics.

6.5 Diversity of radiology

The key to radiogenomics lies in identifying valuable features that can accurately predict clinical outcomes. Although DL models automatically learn representations of image features and show superior results to classical radiomics in various tasks, hand‐crafted radiomics carry advantages including less data dependency, the ability to incorporate clinical prior knowledge, and higher interpretability. By integrating DL with radiomics, we can fully leverage the potential of imaging data. Furthermore, data obtained from multiple anatomical scales and multimodalities can provide multidimensional features that enable the characterization of cancer molecules and prognosis, with the potential to amplify the signals of specific molecules and microenvironment components.

Medical images commonly used are typically designed and generated for human visual interpretation. However, when it comes to radiomics, it is important to consider the differences between computer vision and human vision. These traditional forms of input may not always be optimal for achieving accurate and consistent outputs. A notable example is the need for quantization processing on medical images in classical radiomics, which is often performed prior to feature extraction. In recent years, the emergence of MR fingerprint technology has enabled the translation of current visual and qualitative MRI diagnostic criteria into a quantitative acquisition and analysis framework. 201 Additionally, raw data obtained from imaging equipment may contain biological information that can be utilized for computer processing, as opposed to medical images that have undergone graphical manipulations to enhance readability. 50 By altering the approach to image collection and processing, making them more suitable for ML, we can further advance the development of radiogenomics.

6.6 Multimodal AI

Finally, the integration and analysis of multiple types of medical data are considered crucial for advancing precision oncology. It is necessary to introduce multimodal ML algorithms capable of handling various data types to replace the linear regression methods commonly used for combining radiomic and molecular data. Additionally, the medical community has been inspired by LLMs and derived multimodal AI agents, which have gained significant attention. 202 , 203 In recent studies, multimodal LLMs can simultaneously interpret text and images to generate reports, closely mimicking current diagnostic pathways in radiology. 204 It is foreseeable that multimodal LLMs can be integrated in a variety of real‐world medical support scenarios including preoperative biomarker profiling of tumors with images, and postoperative clinical decision making based on radiogenomics, in a natural language‐based interaction. This process can be based on specific predictive capabilities obtained after targeted training, or the ability to call appropriate validated radiogenomics models autonomously, as possessed by the AI agent. In the future, AI agents based on medical foundation models may represent an ideal form of efficient automated precision medicine. These agents can assist in integrating patients' medical data and invoking appropriate validated specialized models for tasks such as patient counseling, disease classification, prognosis, and decision‐making. 205

7 CONCLUSIONS AND PROSPECTS

Recent high‐quality studies provide compelling evidence of its clinical utility by bridging fundamental research findings with precision medicine applications. Although there are still non‐negligible problems to overcome in radiogenomics. For example, the massive amounts of high‐quality imaging and biomolecular data for constructing strong enough radiogenomics models are still insufficient. Accurate matching of imaging genomics and multiomics data in time and space still faces great challenges at the technical level.

Nationally driven large‐scale public databases and collaborative projects, as well as the development of generative AI for virtual data synthesis, are expected to greatly facilitated development by consistently providing access to heterogeneous imaging and genomic data at scale. Incorporating structural, functional, and molecular radiomic at various anatomical scale levels and multiomics information from tissue and liquid samples enables more comprehensive and time‐critical tumor characterization, understanding, and prediction, providing determining basis for precision oncology. Advances in AI algorithms, such as attention mechanisms, transfer learning, and self‐supervised learning, are striving to utilize variable‐quality but highly accessible data to break through the limitation of insufficient high‐quality data. What is more, with the help of multimodal LLMs, it is expected to facilitate the efficient implementation of the latest results of radiogenomics into the existing clinical workflow.

Above all, standards for rigorous model evaluation are essential to assess validity, generalizability and clinical applicability. The promise of radiogenomics still warrants more real‐world validation and evaluation of its efficacy in diverse populations to ensure that these technologies are equitably delivering benefits to patients. Only through such evaluation can radiogenomic models be reliably applied to improve patient outcomes. Continued research efforts are moving the field closer to realizing radiogenomics' full potential for precision oncology.
