Radiomic features from the peritumoral brain parenchyma on treatment-naive multi-parametric MR imaging predict long versus short-term survival in glioblastoma multiforme: Preliminary findings.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Despite 90 % of glioblastoma (GBM) recurrences occurring in the peritumoral brain zone (PBZ), its contribution in patient survival is poorly understood. The current study leverages computerized texture (i.e. radiomic) analysis to evaluate the efficacy of PBZ features from pre-operative MRI in predicting long- (>18 months) versus short-term (<7 months) survival in GBM. METHODS:Sixty-five patient examinations (29 short-term, 36 long-term) with gadolinium-contrast T1w, FLAIR and T2w sequences from the Cancer Imaging Archive were employed. An expert manually segmented each study as: enhancing lesion, PBZ and tumour necrosis. 402 radiomic features (capturing co-occurrence, grey-level dependence and directional gradients) were obtained for each region. Evaluation was performed using threefold cross-validation, such that a subset of studies was used to select the most predictive features, and the remaining subset was used to evaluate their efficacy in predicting survival. RESULTS:A subset of ten radiomic 'peritumoral' MRI features, suggestive of intensity heterogeneity and textural patterns, was found to be predictive of survival (p?=?1.47?×?10-5) as compared to features from enhancing tumour, necrotic regions and known clinical factors. CONCLUSION:Our preliminary analysis suggests that radiomic features from the PBZ on routine pre-operative MRI may be predictive of long- versus short-term survival in GBM. KEY POINTS:• Radiomic features from peritumoral regions can capture glioblastoma heterogeneity to predict outcome. • Peritumoral radiomics along with clinical factors are highly predictive of glioblastoma outcome. • Identifying prognostic markers can assist in making personalized therapy decisions in glioblastoma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Radiomics or computer-extracted texture features derived from MRI have been shown to help quantitatively characterize prostate cancer (PCa). Radiomics have not been explored depth in the context of predicting biochemical recurrence (BCR) of PCa. PURPOSE:To identify a set of radiomic features derived from pretreatment biparametric MRI (bpMRI) that may be predictive of PCa BCR. STUDY TYPE:Retrospective. SUBJECTS:In all, 120 PCa patients from two institutions, I1 and I2 , partitioned into training set D1 (N?=?70) from I1 and independent validation set D2 (N?=?50) from I2 . All patients were followed for ?3 years. SEQUENCE:3T, T2 -weighted (T2 WI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps derived from diffusion-weighted sequences. ASSESSMENT:PCa regions of interest (ROIs) on T2 WI were annotated by two experienced radiologists. Radiomic features from bpMRI (T2 WI and ADC maps) were extracted from the ROIs. A machine-learning classifier (CBCR ) was trained with the best discriminating set of radiomic features to predict BCR (pBCR ). STATISTICAL TESTS:Wilcoxon rank-sum tests with P?<?0.05 were considered statistically significant. Differences in BCR-free survival at 3 years using pBCR was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with Gleason Score (GS), PSA, and PIRADS-v2. RESULTS:Distribution statistics of co-occurrence of local anisotropic gradient orientation (CoLlAGe) and Haralick features from T2 WI and ADC were associated with BCR (P?<?0.05) on D1 . CBCR predictions resulted in a mean AUC?=?0.84 on D1 and AUC?=?0.73 on D2 . A significant difference in BCR-free survival between the predicted classes (BCR?+?and BCR-) was observed (P?=?0.02) on D2 compared to those obtained from GS (P?=?0.8), PSA (P?=?0.93) and PIRADS-v2 (P?=?0.23). DATA CONCLUSION:Radiomic features from pretreatment bpMRI can be predictive of PCa BCR after therapy and may help identify men who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:The extent of peritumoral tumor cell infiltrations in glioblastoma contributes to poor prognosis. We aimed to assess additive prognostic value of Minkowski functionals in analyzing heterogeneity of peritumoral hyperintensity on T2WI in glioblastoma patients. METHODS:Clinical data (age, sex, extent of surgical resection), O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status and pre-operative T2WI of 113 pathologically confirmed glioblastoma patients (from our institution, n = 61; from the Cancer Imaging Archive, n = 52) were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were randomly grouped into a training set (n = 80) and a test set (n = 33). Peritumoral T2 hyperintensity was manually segmented and Minkowski functionals-a texture analysis method capturing heterogeneity of MR images-were computed as a function of 11 grayscale thresholds. The Cox proportional hazards models were fitted with clinical variables, Minkowski functionals features as well as both combined. The risk prediction performances of the Minkowski functionals and combined models were validated on a separate test dataset. The sex-specific survival difference of the entire cohort was analyzed according to MGMT methylation status via Kaplan-Meier survival curves. RESULTS:Thirty-three Minkowski features (11 area, 11 perimeter and 11 genus) for each patient were acquired giving a total of 3729 features. Cox regression models fitted with clinical data, Minkowski features, and both combined had incremental concordance indices of 0.577 (P = 0.02), 0.706 (P = 0.02) and 0.714 (P = 0.01) respectively. The prediction error rate of the combined model-having clinical and Minkowski features-was lower than that of Minkowski functionals model (0.135 and 0.161, respectively) when validated on a test dataset. No sex-specific survival difference was found according to MGMT methylation status (male, P = 0.2; female, P = 0.22). CONCLUSIONS:Minkowski functionals features computed from peritumoral hyperintensity can capture heterogeneity of glioblastoma on T2WI and have additive prognostic value in predicting survival, demonstrating their potential in complementing currently available prognostic parameters.
