Abstract:
In paediatric oncology, imaging biomarkers play an increasing role in diagnostic imaging and research. They can be used for prediction, detection, staging, and grading of diseases, as well as for assessment of response to treatment. Imaging biomarkers are complementary to tissue-based biomarkers, enabling a more personalised approach in oncology care. In this white paper by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) Oncology Taskforce and European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Paediatrics Committee, an overview is given of the current knowledge on the use of imaging biomarkers in general and per tumour group.
