DEVELOPS EARLY DETECTION AND CANCER MONITORING VIA RADIOMICS

Abstract

Early cancer detection is crucial for both medical and societal reasons, as it allows for the possibility of curative treatment when the cancer is still localized, as has been covered elsewhere in this special issue. Since the advent of symptoms is frequently linked to late-stage incurable disease, it is ideal to find early malignancies in asymptomatic individuals. But it's also very evident that before early detection paradigms can be totally successful, there are significant problems that need to be resolved, including false positives, overdetection, overdiagnosis, and overtreatment. Early detection paradigms are therefore inherently multistep procedures whose objective is to maximize various trade-offs between the diagnosis's sensitivity and specificity at each stage. Medical imaging has always been a vital part of pipelines for early cancer detection.
