NCTN – Network Lead Academic Participating Site: USC
Major Goals: The major emphases of the USC team are (a) to provide leadership across the NTCN to design and efficiently perform clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of novel regimens or modifications of existing regimens; (b) to provide leadership in biomarker development and in the integration of new technologies into NCTN trials, taking advantage of a systematic approach to collection, processing, and storage of blood, normal tissue, fresh or frozen tumor tissue, and other relevant biologic samples for molecular and pharmacologic studies; and (c) to evaluate cancer treatment regimens in special patient populations, such as rare cancers, the elderly and ethnic minorities.

Integrated Radiomic and liquid biopsy monitoring in SWOG S1802: A phase 3 therapeutic trial for metastatic prostate cancer.
Major Goals: To apply multi-parametric liquid biopsy assays combined with Radiomic analysis to monitor resistance and progression in a large Phase 3 clinical trial for men with de novo metastatic castrate sensitive prostate cancer treated with standard systemic therapy +/- treatment of the primary tumor.

Investigating the Complex Correlation Between Radiomics and Immune Infiltration in Renal Cell Carcinoma
Major Goals: To identify imaging biomarkers in evaluating the tumor microenvironment in ccRCC and the need for better predictive biomarkers for cancer patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Validating a Hybrid Artificial Intelligence-Based Framework for Characterizing Breast Masses Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)
Major Goals: We will develop and validate a systematic and rigorous framework of combining machine learning (ML)and deep learning (DL)-based approaches (Artificial Intelligence) designed for breast malignancy stratification based on CEUS-derived metrics. The resultant model will be used to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies in breast cancer patients, particularly the vulnerable, underserved, and lower socio-economic patients treated in county hospitals.
