Abstract:

The detection of early lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as ground glass nodule (GGN) is increasing. The promoting precision targeted therapy arises the need of radiomics (RM) and radiogenomics, a series of noninvasively radiological technology based on multiple modality, to assist the process including determination in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up strategy and release burden in clinical practice. RM, playing an important role in lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as GGN, can provide information towards the different components of the nodules, the analysis of peritumoral areas, the reduction of over diagnosis and treatment, the selection of targeted therapy and follow-up.

Key words: Carcinoma, non-small-cell lung, Ground glass nodules, Radiomics, Tumor heterogeneity, Tumor microenvironment
