radiotherapy, a radiation oncologist delineates the clinical target volume (CTV) for irradiation to the risk areas, which include the gross tumor with margin, mesorectum, presacral nodes, and internal iliac nodes. After irradiation with 45-50 Gy in 25-28 fractions to the pelvic area, an additional 5.4-9.0 Gy in 3-5 fractions is prescribed as tumor boost RT. The boost CTV is relatively small in order to reduce the toxicities to the other pelvic organs. Given that the boost CTV represents the gross tumor and mesorectum, we hypothesized that genomic information could be derived using the radiogenomic approach. Without a separate handcrafted tumor segmentation process, the boost CTV itself can be used to extract radiomic features and for RT planning.Collectively, we aimed to evaluate both the radiogenomic and deep learning approaches to predict KRAS mutation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer using the boost CTV in the radiotherapy planning CT.
