Abstract：Esophageal cancer(EC)is a common malignant tumor of the upper digestive tract,and its morbidity and mortality are increasing worldwide.The early detection rate of EC is low,and the prognosis is poor.Most patients are already in the middle and late stages of the disease when diagnosed.Early diagnosis and reasonable treatment plans are crucial for improving EC patients'prognosis.Positron emission tomography(PET)/computed tomography(CT)radiomics quantifies and deeply analyzes the feature image data extracted by high-throughput,and then establishes clinical predictive models,which can provide reference for improving treatment strategies and evaluating prognosis of EC patients.In this paper,the research progress on the application of PET/CT radiomics in esophageal cancer is reviewed.
