To the Editor: Mattonen et al ( 1 Mattonen S.A. Palma D.A. Johnson C. et al. Detection of local cancer recurrence after stereotactic ablative radiation therapy for lung cancer: Physician performance versus radiomic assessment. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2016; 94: 1121-1128 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (106) Google Scholar ) should be praised for their article "Detection of Local Cancer Recurrence After Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer: Physician Performance Versus Radiomic Assessment." They revealed the impact of radiomics in surveillance for the detection of early signs of persistent disease or local progression. Detection of Local Cancer Recurrence After Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer: Physician Performance Versus Radiomic AssessmentInternational Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, PhysicsVol. 94Issue 5PreviewStereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) is a guideline-specified treatment option for early-stage lung cancer. However, significant posttreatment fibrosis can occur and obfuscate the detection of local recurrence. The goal of this study was to assess physician ability to detect timely local recurrence and to compare physician performance with a radiomics tool.

We agree that radiomics may provide information that reflects underlying tumor biology. Radiomic signatures have been shown to correlate with genomics for some tumor types (2, 3). In contrast to the rich source of information that may be available from radiomics, current contouring approaches merely aim to delineate areas of tumor (or potential tumor) and distinguish such areas from nonmalignant normal tissue.
