Radiomics has the potential to personalize patient treatment by using medical images that are already being acquired in clinical practice. Recently, with the development of computational and imaging technology, radiotherapy has brought unlimited opportunities driven by radiomics in individual cancer treatment and precision medicine care. This article reviews the advances in the application of radiomics in lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and other cancer sites. Additionally, we comment on the future challenges of radiomic research.
