Method | Ref. | Patients | Imaging | Level of association | Biological correlate | Results |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Regular association | [42] | 108 | CT | Genomics | BRCA mutation | Nodular pelvic disease and the presence of pelvic disease in the gastrohepatic ligament associated with high likelihood of BRCA. Infiltrative pelvic disease, mesenteric presence and supradiaphragmatic lymphadenopathy were related with less likelihood of BRCA mutation. |
[43] | 38 | CT | Genomics | 19q12 amplification | High inter lesion heterogeneity is associated with the amplification of 19q12. | |
[44] | 46 | CT | Transcriptomics | CLOVAR classification | Peritoneal disease and mesenteric infiltration related with the mesenchymal subtype of the CLOVAR. | |
[45] | 92 | CT | Transcriptomics | CLOVAR classification | Peritoneal involvement and presence of disease in the pelvis and ovary related with mesenchymal subtype. | |
[46] | 20 | CT | Proteomics | Selected proteins | Intra- and inter-site heterogeneity associated with selected proteins involved in aminoacid metabolism. | |
[47] | 297 | CT | Multilevel | DNA damage and stromal phenotype | CT-based radiomic signature with prognostic capacity positively associated with a stromal phenotype and negatively correlated with markers of DNA damage. | |
Targeted analysis | [48] | 1 | MRI | Multilevel | Histology and genomics | Different imaging habitats were related to different growth patterns when looking at the histopathological examination. Hypoxia and neovascularisation markers also differ between habitats. Using presence of somatic mutations and gene copy number variation, phylogenetic tree reconstruction showed that the habitats derive from different clones. |
