Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as an important diagnostic modality in the management of cardiovascular-related dysfunction in oncological diseases. Advances in imaging techniques have enhanced the detection and evaluation of cardiac masses; meanwhile, innovative applications have created a growing role for cardiac MRI for the management of cardiotoxicity caused by cancer therapies.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Oncology.

Immune-checkpoint blockades have exhibited durable responses and improved long-term survival in a subset of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, highly predictive markers of positive and negative responses to immunotherapy are a significant unmet clinical need. The objective of this study was to identify clinical and computational image-based predictors of rapid disease progression phenotypes in NSCLC patients treated with immune-checkpoint blockades.

Novel clinical and radiomic predictors of rapid disease progression phenotypes among lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy: An early report.

Immunotherapy agents for treatment of cancer have been investigated for decades, but effective agents have only recently been identified and are increasingly being used in multiple cancer types. There is growing recognition of adverse side effects in multiple organ systems mediated by dysregulation of the immune system, which can be exacerbated by comorbidities often found in cancer patients such as chronic lung disease, diabetes, and hypertension. As a result, internists and other nononcology clinicians are routinely encountering immunotherapy patients who present with a remarkably wide range of symptoms. Here, we present the radiographic manifestations of common side effects from immunotherapy agents. An accurate diagnosis is critical in these often-complex clinical settings in which the consequences of the underlying cancer and other comorbidities must be distinguished from the variable manifestations of treatment toxicity.
