Neuro-oncology and radiogenomics: Time to integrate?

Abstract

Radiogenomics aims to predict genetic markers based on imaging features. The critical importance of molecular markers in the diagnosis and management of intracranial gliomas has led to a rapid growth in radiogenomics research, with progressively increasing complexity. Despite the advances in the techniques being examined, there has been little translation into the clinical domain. This has resulted in a growing disconnect between cutting-edge research and assimilation into clinical practice, though the fundamental goal is for these techniques to improve patient care. The goal of this review, therefore, is to discuss possible clinical scenarios in which the addition of radiogenomics may aid p..
