18F-FDG PET/CT 影像组学在非小细胞肺癌中的应用进展

Advances in the application of 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics in non-small cell lung cancer

  • 摘要: 非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)是全球范围内发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤之一,在中国亦居首位。随着影像组学的快速发展,高通量算法已可精确量化肿瘤内部的空间异质性。18F-脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层显像/X 线计算机断层显像(18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography,18F-FDG PET/CT)技术深度融合高清解剖与功能代谢信息,已在肿瘤诊疗领域得到广泛应用。在此基础上,将18F-FDG PET/CT影像技术与影像组学结合并构建机器模型,进一步拓展了其在肿瘤临床诊疗中的应用范围,已被迅速引入肺癌全程管理领域。在鉴别诊断方面,可有效辅助鉴别良恶性肺结节,提高早期NSCLC诊断的准确率,预测NSCLC的病理亚型。在治疗指导方面,影像组学为精准制定个体化治疗方案提供有力支持,辅助肺癌TNM分期、预测关键的基因突变状态及免疫检查点表达水平。此外,基于机器学习的影像组学特征分析在疗效监测和预后评估中展现出重要价值,能够有效预测患者的治疗反应及生存结局。本文就18F-FDG PET/CT影像组学在NSCLC全程管理中的近期应用进展进行综述。

     

    Abstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide and is the most prevalent thoracic malignancy in China. With regards to the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC, advances in radiomics have enabled the high-throughput extraction and quantification of intratumoral spatial heterogeneity. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), which integrates high-resolution anatomical details with functional metabolic data, has been widely used in oncologic imaging. By synergistically combining 18F-FDG PET/CT with radiomics to construct machine learning models, the clinical utility of this modality has markedly expanded, and it has been rapidly integrated into the comprehensive management of lung cancer. In the diagnostic setting, these integrated models can differentiate benign from malignant pulmonary nodules with high reliability, thereby enhancing the accuracy of early stage NSCLC detection and enabling a non-invasive prediction of histopathologic subtypes. Radiomics signatures can also provide robust support for precision oncology by facilitating accurate TNM staging, predicting actionable genomic alterations, and estimating immune checkpoint expression levels. Moreover, machine learning-based radiomic analyses are valuable in treatment response monitoring and prognostication, effectively forecasting therapeutic efficacy and patient survival outcomes. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the application of 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics across the entire continuum of NSCLC care.
