Anal carcinoma constitutes a rare disease. Radiochemotherapy constitutes the current standard of care, but achieves only limited healing rates. So far, no clinical, molecular, or pathological parameter has been identified to adjust the given therapy to individual patients. The proposed project aims to analyze the potential of quantitative analysis of medical imaging data (“radiomics”) and artificial intelligence techniques for improved prediction of patients’ survival. The resulting image-based prediction models may be used for improved patient risk assessment in the future. This information could then be used for personalization of therapy.
