Introduction:
Radiomics offers the potential to predict oncological outcomes from pre-operative imaging in order to identify 'high risk' patients at increased risk of recurrence. The application of radiomics in predicting disease recurrence provides tailoring of therapeutic strategies. We aim to comprehensively assess the existing literature regarding the current role of radiomics as a predictor of disease recurrence in gastric cancer.
Methods:
A systematic search was conducted in Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. Inclusion criteria encompassed retrospective and prospective studies investigating the use of radiomics to predict post-operative recurrence in ovarian cancer. Study quality was assessed using the QUADAS-2 and Radiomics Quality Score tools.
Results:
Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 6,662 participants. Radiomic-based nomograms demonstrated consistent performance in predicting disease recurrence, as evidenced by satisfactory area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values (AUC range 0.72 - 1). The pooled AUCs calculated using the inverse-variance method for both the training and validation datasets were 0.819 and 0.789 respectively CONCLUSION: Our review provides good evidence supporting the role of radiomics as a predictor of post-operative disease recurrence in gastric cancer. Included studies noted good performance in predicting their primary outcome. Radiomics may enhance personalised medicine by tailoring treatment decision based on predicted prognosis.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
