Comprehensive Computed Tomography Radiomics Analysis of Lung Adenocarcinoma for Prognostication.


ABSTRACT:

Background

In this era of personalized medicine, there is an expanded demand for advanced imaging biomarkers that reflect the biology of the whole tumor. Therefore, we investigated a large number of computed tomography-derived radiomics features along with demographics and pathology-related variables in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, correlating them with overall survival.

Materials and methods

Three hundred thirty-nine patients who underwent operation for lung adenocarcinoma were included. Analysis was performed using 161 radiomics features, demographic, and pathologic variables and correlated each with patient survival. Prognostic performance for survival was compared among three models: (a) using only clinicopathological data; (b) using only selected radiomics features; and (c) using both clinicopathological data and selected radiomics features.

Results

At multivariate analysis, age, pN, tumor size, type of operation, histologic grade, maximum value of the outer 1/3 of the tumor, and size zone variance were statistically significant variables. In particular, maximum value of outer 1/3 of the tumor reflected tumor microenvironment, and size zone variance represented intratumor heterogeneity. Integration of 31 selected radiomics features with clinicopathological variables led to better discrimination performance.

Conclusion

Radiomics approach in lung adenocarcinoma enables utilization of the full potential of medical imaging and has potential to improve prognosis assessment in clinical oncology.

Implications for practice

Two radiomics features were prognostic for lung cancer survival at multivariate analysis: (a) maximum value of the outer one third of the tumor reflects the tumor microenvironment and (b) size zone variance represents the intratumor heterogeneity. Therefore, a radiomics approach in lung adenocarcinoma enables utilization of the full potential of medical imaging and could play a larger role in clinical oncology.
