Radiomics Nomogram for Prediction of Peritoneal Metastasis in Patients With Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether radiomics imaging signatures based on computed tomography (CT) could predict peritoneal metastasis (PM) in gastric cancer (GC) and to develop a nomogram for preoperative prediction of PM status. Methods: We collected CT images of pathological T4 gastric cancer in 955 consecutive patients of two cancer centers to analyze the radiomics features retrospectively and then developed and validated the prediction model built from 292 quantitative image features in the training cohort and two validation cohorts. Lasso regression model was applied for selecting feature and constructing radiomics signature. Predicting model was developed by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Radiomics nomogram was developed by the incorporation of radiomics signature and clinical T and N stage. Calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. Results: In training and validation cohorts, PM status was associated with the radiomics signature significantly. It was found that the radiomics signature was an independent predictor for peritoneal metastasis in multivariable logistic analysis. For training and internal and external validation cohorts, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of radiomics signature for predicting PM were 0.751 (95%CI, 0.703-0.799), 0.802 (95%CI, 0.691-0.912), and 0.745 (95%CI, 0.683-0.806), respectively. Furthermore, for training and internal and external validation cohorts, the AUCs of radiomics nomogram for predicting PM were 0.792 (95%CI, 0.748-0.836), 0.870 (95%CI, 0.795-0.946), and 0.815 (95%CI, 0.763-0.867), respectively. Conclusions: CT-based radiomics signature could predict peritoneal metastasis, and the radiomics nomogram can make a meaningful contribution for predicting PM status in GC patient preoperatively.

Project description:PURPOSE:To build and validate a radiomics-based nomogram for the prediction of pre-operation lymph node (LN) metastasis in esophageal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A total of 197 esophageal cancer patients were enrolled in this study, and their LN metastases have been pathologically confirmed. The data were collected from January 2016 to May 2016; patients in the first three months were set in the training cohort, and patients in April 2016 were set in the validation cohort. About 788 radiomics features were extracted from computed tomography (CT) images of the patients. The elastic-net approach was exploited for dimension reduction and selection of the feature space. The multivariable logistic regression analysis was adopted to build the radiomics signature and another predictive nomogram model. The predictive nomogram model was composed of three factors with the radiomics signature, where CT reported the LN number and position risk level. The performance and usefulness of the built model were assessed by the calibration and decision curve analysis. RESULTS:Thirteen radiomics features were selected to build the radiomics signature. The radiomics signature was significantly associated with the LN metastasis (P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the radiomics signature performance in the training cohort was 0.806 (95% CI: 0.732-0.881), and in the validation cohort it was 0.771 (95% CI: 0.632-0.910). The model showed good discrimination, with a Harrell's Concordance Index of 0.768 (0.672 to 0.864, 95% CI) in the training cohort and 0.754 (0.603 to 0.895, 95% CI) in the validation cohort. Decision curve analysis showed our model will receive benefit when the threshold probability was larger than 0.15. CONCLUSION:The present study proposed a radiomics-based nomogram involving the radiomics signature, so the CT reported the status of the suspected LN and the dummy variable of the tumor position. It can be potentially applied in the individual preoperative prediction of the LN metastasis status in esophageal cancer patients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo develop and validate a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) derived radiomics model to predict peritoneal metastasis (PM) in patients with gastric cancer (GC).MethodsThis retrospective study recruited 239 GC (non-PM = 174, PM = 65) patients with histopathological confirmation for peritoneal status from January 2015 to December 2019. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 160) and a testing cohort (n = 79). Standardized iodine-uptake (IU) images and 120-kV-equivalent mixed images (simulating conventional CT images) from portal-venous and delayed phases were used for analysis. Two regions of interest (ROIs) including the peritoneal area and the primary tumor were independently delineated. Subsequently, 1691 and 1226 radiomics features were extracted from the peritoneal area and the primary tumor from IU and mixed images on each phase. Boruta and Spearman correlation analysis were used for feature selection. Three radiomics models were established, including the R_IU model for IU images, the R_MIX model for mixed images and the combined radiomics model (the R_comb model). Random forest was used to tune the optimal radiomics model. The performance of the clinical model and human experts to assess PM was also recorded.ResultsFourteen and three radiomics features with low redundancy and high importance were extracted from the IU and mixed images, respectively. The R_IU model showed significantly better performance to predict PM than the R_MIX model in the training cohort (AUC, 0.981 vs. 0.917, p = 0.034). No improvement was observed in the R_comb model (AUC = 0.967). The R_IU model was the optimal radiomics model which showed no overfitting in the testing cohort (AUC = 0.967, p = 0.528). The R_IU model demonstrated significantly higher predictive value on peritoneal status than the clinical model and human experts in the testing cohort (AUC, 0.785, p = 0.005; AUC, 0.732, p <0.001, respectively).ConclusionDECT derived radiomics could serve as a non-invasive and easy-to-use biomarker to preoperatively predict PM for GC, providing opportunity for those patients to tailor appropriate treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Accurate lymph node metastasis (LNM) prediction in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is of great significance for treatment decision making and prognostic evaluation. We aimed to develop and validate a clinical-radiomics nomogram for the individual preoperative prediction of LNM in CRC patients. METHODS:We enrolled 766 patients (458 in the training set and 308 in the validation set) with clinicopathologically confirmed CRC. We included nine significant clinical risk factors (age, sex, preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, tumor size, tumor location, histotype, differentiation and M stage) to build the clinical model. We used analysis of variance (ANOVA), relief and recursive feature elimination (RFE) for feature selection (including clinical risk factors and the imaging features of primary lesions and peripheral lymph nodes), established classification models with logistic regression analysis and selected the respective candidate models by fivefold cross-validation. Then, we combined the clinical risk factors, primary lesion radiomics features and peripheral lymph node radiomics features of the candidate models to establish combined predictive models. Model performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Finally, decision curve analysis (DCA) and a nomogram were used to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the model. RESULTS:The clinical-primary lesion radiomics-peripheral lymph node radiomics model, with the highest AUC value (0.7606), was regarded as the candidate model and had good discrimination and calibration in both the training and validation sets. DCA demonstrated that the clinical-radiomics nomogram was useful for preoperative prediction in the clinical environment. CONCLUSION:The present study proposed a clinical-radiomics nomogram with a combination of clinical risk factors and radiomics features that can potentially be applied in the individualized preoperative prediction of LNM in CRC patients.

Project description:ImportanceOccult peritoneal metastasis frequently occurs in patients with advanced gastric cancer and is poorly diagnosed with currently available tools. Because the presence of peritoneal metastasis precludes the possibility of curative surgery, there is an unmet need for a noninvasive approach to reliably identify patients with occult peritoneal metastasis.ObjectiveTo assess the use of a deep learning model for predicting occult peritoneal metastasis based on preoperative computed tomography images.Design, setting, and participantsIn this multicenter, retrospective cohort study, a deep convolutional neural network, the Peritoneal Metastasis Network (PMetNet), was trained to predict occult peritoneal metastasis based on preoperative computed tomography images. Data from a cohort of 1225 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (Guangzhou, China) were used for training purposes. To externally validate the model, data were collected from 2 independent cohorts comprising a total of 753 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery at Nanfang Hospital (Guangzhou, China) or the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University (Guangzhou, China). The status of peritoneal metastasis for all patients was confirmed by pathological examination of pleural specimens obtained during surgery. Detailed clinicopathological data were collected for each patient. Data analysis was performed between September 1, 2019, and January 31, 2020.Main outcomes and measuresThe area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve were analyzed to evaluate performance in predicting occult peritoneal metastasis.ResultsA total of 1978 patients (mean [SD] age, 56.0 [12.2] years; 1350 [68.3%] male) were included in the study. The PMetNet model achieved an AUC of 0.946 (95% CI, 0.927-0.965), with a sensitivity of 75.4% and a specificity of 92.9% in external validation cohort 1. In external validation cohort 2, the AUC was 0.920 (95% CI, 0.848-0.992), with a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 98.2%. The discrimination performance of PMetNet was substantially higher than conventional clinicopathological factors (AUC range, 0.51-0.63). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, PMetNet was an independent predictor of occult peritoneal metastasis.Conclusions and relevanceThe findings of this cohort study suggest that the PMetNet model can serve as a reliable noninvasive tool for early identification of patients with clinically occult peritoneal metastasis, which will inform individualized preoperative treatment decision-making and may avoid unnecessary surgery and complications. These results warrant further validation in prospective studies.
