Novel Radiomic Measurements of Tumor-Associated Vasculature Morphology on Clinical Imaging as a Biomarker of Treatment Response in Multiple Cancers

Abstract

The tumor-associated vasculature (TAV) differs from healthy blood vessels by its convolutedness, leakiness, and chaotic architecture, and these attributes facilitate the creation of a treatment-resistant tumor microenvironment. Measurable differences in these attributes might also help stratify patients by likely benefit of systemic therapy (e.g., chemotherapy). In this work, we present a new category of computational image-based biomarkers called quantitative tumor-associated vasculature (QuanTAV) features, and demonstrate their ability to predict response and survival across multiple cancer types, imaging modalities, and treatment regimens involving chemotherapy.
