Abstract A007: Radiomics of anaplastic Wilms tumors: Unraveling oncogenic immune dynamics
Abstract This study investigates the intricate interplay between oncogenic pathways and the immune microenvironment in anaplastic Wilms tumors (AWTs) and explores its radiological implications. AWTs, characterized by complex genetic alterations including TP53 and CTNNB1 mutations, exhibit a unique immunophenotype with implications for tumor-immune dynamics. Leveraging comprehensive genomic profiling and immunological markers, we analyze how these interactions influence the radiological presentation of AWTs. We performed whole-exome and/or RNA sequencing on genomic DNA derived from 12 matched tumor-normal WTs and extended analysis in an independent dataset of 9 cases. Leveraging comprehensive genomic profiling and immunological markers, we analyzed how these interactions influence the radiological presentation of AWTs. The delicate equilibrium between pro-tumorigenic and anti-tumorigenic immune elements is examined, emphasizing the potential of advanced imaging modalities to capture evolving tumor-immune interactions. Immune infiltrates, such as lymphocytes and myeloid cells, are assessed for prognostic value and radiological correlates. The study aims to identify radiomic features that correlate with the immunological landscape, providing radiologists with tools for risk stratification and treatment response prediction. This research sheds light on the complex interplay between oncogenic signaling and the immune system in AWTs, offering radiologists insights to enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic monitoring. Integration of genomic, immunological, and radiological data holds promise for developing tailored imaging strategies, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of AWT biology and facilitating personalized therapeutic interventions.
