Radiomics approaches in gastric cancer: a frontier in clinical decision making
1Department of Radiology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China.
Objective:
To review the application of radiomics in gastric cancer and its challenges as well as future prospects.
Data Sources:
A research for relevant studies were performed in PubMed with the terms of "radiomics," "texture analysis," and "gastric cancer." The search was updated until February 28, 2019.
Study Selection:
All original articles regarding the investigation of texture analysis or radiomics in gastric cancer were retrieved. Only papers written in English were included.
Results:
A total of 17 original articles were selected in final. It is shown that radiomics has yielded moderate to excellent performance in a spectrum of respects including differential diagnosis, assessment of histological differential degree, evaluation of tumor stage, prediction of response to therapy, and prognosis in gastric cancer. Yet, a number of challenges are facing both radiomics itself and its application in gastric cancer.
Conclusions:
Radiomics holds great potential in facilitating decision-making in gastric cancer. With the standardization of work-flow and advancement of machine learning methods, radiomics is expected to make great breakthroughs in precision medicine of gastric cancer.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
