The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $677,998 Project Grant under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (MCW) to externally validate and integrate radiopathomic models developed using autopsy and biopsy samples from two different institutions. The goals are to refine these radiopathomic models by leveraging comprehensive datasets, investigate the impact of various clinical factors on model performance, and conduct a prospective multi-site clinical validation study to evaluate the ability of the optimized models to identify regions of glioma infiltration. Successful completion of this 5-year project is expected to advance the field of radiopathomic imaging for glioma characterization and offer non-invasive tools to aid in treatment planning, monitoring treatment response, and guiding personalized therapies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
