Synopsis

Keywords: Data Analysis, Cancer, MultimodalSolid tumors exhibit intratumoral heterogeneity, which is related to therapy efficacy. Since biopsies represent a small part of the tumor, multimodal imaging techniques provide panoptic cancer characterization. We developed an acquisition and analysis protocol based on multiparametric MRI to classify and provide a holistic characterization of intratumoral heterogeneity and correlate it with positron emission tomography and histology. We applied MRI to characterize phenotypic changes induced by antiPD-L1 therapy response. Results reveal that models trained exclusively with MRI data provide biologically relevant maps of phenotypes showing intratumoral heterogeneity, but also allow non-invasive identification of tumors that respond or resist to therapy.
