Value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT-Based Radiomics Nomogram to Predict Survival Outcomes and Guide Personalized Targeted Therapy in Lung Adenocarcinoma With EGFR Mutations.

ABSTRACT: Objectives:To investigate the development and validation of a radiomics nomogram based on PET/CT for guiding personalized targeted therapy in patients with lung adenocarcinoma mutation(s) in the EGFR gene.

Methods:A cohort of 109 (77/32 in training/validation cohort) consecutive lung adenocarcinoma patients with an EGFR mutation was enrolled in this study. A total of 1672 radiomic features were extracted from PET and CT images, respectively. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was used to select the radiomic features and construct the radiomics nomogram for the estimation of overall survival (OS), which was then assessed with respect to calibration and clinical usefulness. Patients with an EGFR mutation were divided into high- and low- risk groups according to their nomogram score. The treatment strategy for high- and low-risk groups was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and a log-rank test.

Results:The C-index of the radiomics nomogram for the prediction of OS in lung adenocarcinoma in patients with an EGFR mutation was 0.840 and 0.803 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Distant metastasis [(Hazard ratio, HR),1.80], metabolic tumor volume (MTV, HR, 1.62), and rad score (HR, 17.23) were the independent risk factors for patients with an EGFR mutation. The calibration curve showed that the predicted survival time was remarkably close to the actual time. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the radiomics nomogram was clinically useful. Targeted therapy for patients with high-risk EGFR mutations attained a greater benefit than other therapies (p < 0.0001), whereas the prognoses of the two therapies were similar in the low-risk group (p = 0.85).

Conclusions:Development and validation of a radiomics nomogram based on PET/CT radiomic features combined with clinicopathological factors may guide targeted therapy for patients with lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutations. This is conducive to the advancement of precision medicine.

Project description:PurposeTo determine if quantitative features extracted from pretherapy fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT estimate prognosis in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, PET/CT images and outcomes were curated from 154 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, who underwent chemoradiotherapy from two institutions between March 2008 and June 2016, separated into independent training (n = 78; mean age, 51 years ± 13 [standard deviation]) and testing (n = 76; mean age, 50 years ± 10) cohorts. Radiomic features were extracted from PET, CT, and habitat (subregions with different metabolic characteristics) images that were derived by fusing PET and CT images. Parsimonious sets of these features were identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis and used to generate predictive radiomics signatures for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) estimation. Prognostic validation of the radiomic signatures as independent prognostic markers was performed using multivariable Cox regression, which was expressed as nomograms, together with other clinical risk factors.ResultsThe radiomics nomograms constructed with T stage, lymph node status, and radiomics signatures resulted in significantly better performance for the estimation of PFS (Harrell concordance index [C-index], 0.85 for training and 0.82 for test) and OS (C-index, 0.86 for training and 0.82 for test) compared with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system (C-index for PFS, 0.70 for training [P = .001] and 0.70 for test [P = .002]; C-index for OS, 0.73 for training [P < .001] and 0.70 for test [P < .001]), respectively.ConclusionPrognostic models were generated and validated from quantitative analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT habitat images and clinical data, and may have the potential to identify the patients who need more aggressive treatment in clinical practice, pending further validation with larger prospective cohorts.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.

Project description:Knowledge of the within-subject variability of 18F-FDG PET/MRI measurements is necessary for proper interpretation of quantitative PET or MRI metrics in the context of therapeutic efficacy assessments with integrated PET/MRI scanners. The goal of this study was to determine the test-retest repeatability of these metrics on PET/MRI, with comparison to similar metrics acquired by PET/CT. Methods: This prospective study enrolled subjects with pathology-proven pelvic malignancies. Baseline imaging consisted of PET/CT immediately followed by PET/MRI, using a single 370-MBq 18F-FDG dose. Repeat imaging was performed within 7 d using an identical imaging protocol, with no oncologic therapy between sessions. PET imaging on both scanners consisted of a list-mode acquisition at a single pelvic station. The MRI consisted of 2-point Dixon imaging for attenuation correction, standard sequences for anatomic correlation, and diffusion-weighted imaging. PET data were statically reconstructed using various frame durations and minimizing uptake time differences between sessions. SUV metrics were extracted for both PET/CT and PET/MRI in each imaging session. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics were extracted for both PET/MRI sessions. Results: The study cohort consisted of 14 subjects (13 female, 1 male) with various pelvic cancers (11 cervical, 2 rectal, 1 endometrial). For SUVmax, the within-subject coefficient of variation (wCV) appeared higher for PET/CT (8.5%-12.8%) than PET/MRI (6.6%-8.7%) across all PET reconstructions, though with no significant repeatability differences (all P values ≥ 0.08) between modalities. For lean body mass-adjusted SUVpeak, the wCVs appeared similar for PET/CT (9.9%-11.5%) and PET/MRI (9.2%-11.3%) across all PET reconstructions, again with no significant repeatability differences (all P values ≥ 0.14) between modalities. For PET/MRI, the wCV for ADCmedian of 3.5% appeared lower than the wCVs for SUVmax (6.6%-8.7%) and SULpeak (9.2%-11.3%), though without significant repeatability differences (all P values ≥ 0.23). Conclusion: For solid tumors of the pelvis, the repeatability of the evaluated SUV and ADC metrics on 18F-FDG PET/MRI is both acceptably high and similar to previously published values for 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI, supporting the use of 18F-FDG PET/MRI for quantitative oncologic treatment response assessments.

Project description:ObjectiveIn this study, based on PET/CT radiomics features, we developed and validated a nomogram to predict progression-free survival (PFS) for cases with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with immunochemotherapy.MethodsThis study retrospectively recruited 129 cases with DLBCL. Among them, PET/CT scans were conducted and baseline images were collected for radiomics features along with their clinicopathological features. Radiomics features related to recurrence were screened for survival analysis using univariate Cox regression analysis with p < 0.05. Next, a weighted Radiomics-score (Rad-score) was generated and independent risk factors were obtained from univariate and multivariate Cox regressions to build the nomogram. Furthermore, the nomogram was tested for their ability to predict PFS using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultsBlood platelet, Rad-score, and gender were included in the nomogram as independent DLBCL risk factors for PFS. We found that the training cohort areas under the curve (AUCs) were 0.79, 0.84, and 0.88, and validation cohort AUCs were 0.67, 0.83, and 0.72, respectively. Further, the DCA and calibration curves confirmed the predictive nomogram's clinical relevance.ConclusionUsing Rad-score, blood platelet, and gender of the DLBCL patients, a PET/CT radiomics-based nomogram was developed to guide cases' recurrence risk assessment prior to treatment. The developed nomogram can help provide more appropriate treatment plans to the cases.Key points• DLBCL cases can be classified into low- and high-risk groups using PET/CT radiomics based Rad-score. • When combined with other clinical characteristics (gender and blood platelet count), Rad-score can be used to predict the outcome of the pretreatment of DLBCL cases with a certain degree of accuracy. • A prognostic nomogram was established in this study in order to aid in assessing prognostic risk and providing more accurate treatment plans for DLBCL cases.

Project description:ObjectivesThe accurate assessment of lymph node metastases (LNMs) and the preoperative nodal (N) stage are critical for the precise treatment of patients with gastric cancer (GC). The diagnostic performance, however, of current imaging procedures used for this assessment is sub-optimal. Our aim was to investigate the value of preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomic features to predict LNMs and the N stage.MethodsWe retrospectively collected clinical and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging data of 185 patients with GC who underwent total or partial radical gastrectomy. Patients were allocated to training and validation sets using the stratified method at a fixed ratio (8:2). There were 2,100 radiomic features extracted from the 18F-FDG PET/CT scans. After selecting radiomic features by the random forest, relevancy-based, and sequential forward selection methods, the BalancedBagging ensemble classifier was established for the preoperative prediction of LNMs, and the OneVsRest classifier for the N stage. The performance of the models was primarily evaluated by the AUC and accuracy, and validated by the independent validation methods. Analysis of the feature importance and the correlation were also conducted. We also compared the predictive performance of our radiomic models to that with the contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) and 18F-FDG PET/CT.ResultsThere were 185 patients-127 men, 58 women, with the median age of 62, and an age range of 22-86 years. One CT feature and one PET feature were selected to predict LNMs and achieved the best performance (AUC: 82.2%, accuracy: 85.2%). This radiomic model also detected some LNMs that were missed in CECT (19.6%) and 18F-FDG PET/CT (35.7%). For predicting the N stage, four CT features and one PET feature were selected (AUC: 73.7%, accuracy: 62.3%). Of note, a proportion of patients in the validation set whose LNMs were incorrectly staged by CECT (57.4%) and 18F-FDG PET/CT (55%) were diagnosed correctly by our radiomic model.ConclusionWe developed and validated two machine learning models based on the preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT images that have a predictive value for LNMs and the N stage in GC. These predictive models show a promise to offer a potentially useful adjunct to current staging approaches for patients with GC.
