How Does the Delta-Radiomics Better Differentiate Pre-Invasive GGNs From Invasive GGNs?

ABSTRACT: Purpose: This study aimed to explore the role of delta-radiomics in differentiating pre-invasive ground-glass nodules (GGNs) from invasive GGNs, compared with radiomics signature. Materials and Methods: A total of 464 patients including 107 pre-invasive GGNs and 357 invasive GGNs were embraced in radiomics signature analysis. 3D regions of interest (ROIs) were contoured with ITK software. By means of ANOVA/MW, correlation analysis, and LASSO, the optimal radiomic features were selected. The logistic classifier of radiomics signature was constructed and radiomic scores (rad-scores) were calculated. A total of 379 patients including 48 pre-invasive GGNs and 331 invasive GGNs with baseline and follow-up CT examinations before surgeries were enrolled in delta-radiomics analysis. Finally, the logistic classifier of delta-radiomics was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) were built to evaluate the validity of classifiers. Results: For radiomics signature analysis, six features were selected from 396 radiomic features. The areas under curve (AUCs) of logistic classifiers were 0.865 (95% CI, 0.823-0.900) in the training set and 0.800 (95% CI, 0.724-0.863) in the testing set. The rad-scores of invasive GGNs were larger than those of pre-invasive GGNs. As the follow-up interval went on, more and more delta-radiomic features became statistically different. The AUC of the delta-radiomics logistic classifier was 0.901 (95% CI, 0.867-0.928), which was higher than that of the radiomics signature. Conclusion: The radiomics signature contributes to distinguish pre-invasive and invasive GGNs. The rad-scores of invasive GGNs were larger than those of pre-invasive GGNs. More and more delta-radiomic features appeared to be statistically different as follow-up interval prolonged. Delta-radiomics is superior to radiomics signature in differentiating pre-invasive and invasive GGNs.

Project description:ObjectiveTo develop and validate a radiomics nomogram based on pre-treatment, early treatment ultrasound (US) radiomics features combined with clinical characteristics for early prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer.MethodA total of 217 patients with histological results of breast cancer receiving four to eight cycles of NAC before surgery from January 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. Patients from the study population were randomly separated into a training set (n = 152) and a validation set (n = 65) at a ratio of 7:3. A total of 788 radiomics features were extracted from each region of interest in the US image at pre-treatment baseline (radiomic signature, RS1), early treatment (after completion of two cycles of NAC, RS2) and delta radiomics (calculated between the pre-treatment and post-treatment features, Delta RS). The Max-Relevance and Min-Redundancy (mRMR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were applied for feature selection. The predictive nomogram was built based on the radiomics signature combined with clinicopathological risk factors. Discrimination, calibration, and prediction performance were further evaluated in the validation set.ResultsOf the 217 breast masses, 127 (58.5%) were responsive to NAC and 90 (41.5%) were non-responsive. Following feature selection, nine features in RS1, 11 features in RS2, and eight features in Delta RS remained. With multivariate analysis, the RS1, RS2, Delta RS, and Ki-67 expression were independently associated with breast NAC response. However, the performance of the Delta RS (AUC Delta RS = 0.743) was not higher than RS1 (AUC RS1 = 0.722, PDelta vs RS1 = 0.086) and RS2 (AUC RS2 = 0.811, PDelta vs RS2 = 0.173) with the Delong test. The nomogram incorporating RS1, RS2, and Ki-67 expression showed better predictive ability for NAC response with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.866 in validation cohorts than either the single RS1 (AUC 0.725) or RS2 (AUC 0.793) or Ki-67 (AUC 0.643).ConclusionThe nomogram incorporating pre-treatment and early-treatment US radiomics features and Ki-67 expression showed good performance in terms of NAC response in breast cancer, thereby providing valuable information for individual treatment and timely adjustment of chemotherapy regimens.
