Purpose: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been widely utilized for curative treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It has achieved good local control rate comparable to surgery. Currently, no standard risk model exists for SBRT outcome or complication prediction. Radiomics has the potential to improve clinical outcome prognostication. Here, we reviewed the current literature on the radiomic analyses of thoracic SBRT through the use of radiomic quality score (RQS). Materials and Methods: Literature search was conducted on PubMed and Embase to retrieve radiomics studies on SBRT for early NSCLC. The literature search included studies up to June 2021. Only full papers published in peer reviewed journals were included. Studies that included metastatic lung cancers or non-lung cancers were excluded. Two independent investigators evaluated each study using the RQS and resolved discrepancies through discussion. Results: A total number of 25 studies were analysed. The mean RQS was 7.76 of a maximum score of 36. This corresponds to 21.56% of the maximum score. Lack of feature reduction strategies, external validation and open data sharing were identified as key limitations of the reviewed studies. Meanwhile, various common radiomic signatures across different studies such as gray level co-occurrence matrix Homogeneity and energy have been identified. Multiple robust radiomic models have also been reviewed that may improve outcome or complication prediction. Conclusion: Radiomics in thoracic SBRT has a very promising future as a prognostication tool. However, larger multicenter prospective studies are required to confirm radiomic signatures. Improvement in future study methodologies can also facilitate its wider application.
