Deciphering Intratumoral Molecular Heterogeneity in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma with a Radiogenomics Platform

Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) challenges the molecular characterization of clear cell renal cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) with percutaneous biopsies and is a confounding factor in selection of molecular-targeted versus immune-based therapy. Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging can noninvasively assess the spatial landscape of the entire tumor. To validate MRI for ITH assessment, we implemented a radiogenomic platform through a systematic imaging based co-localization approach for multi region tissue acquisition from single tumors. We investigated if the spatial changes in imaging can predict the molecular changes using transcriptome and histopathological correlatives. Our study confirmed imaging heterogeneity as a predictor of molecular heterogeneity in ccRCC.
