ABSTRACT: Objectives
To develop and validate a radiomics model for preoperative identification of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).Methods
Total of 190 eligible patients were randomly divided into training (n = 100) and validation (n = 90) cohorts. Handcrafted features and deep-learning features were extracted from T2W fat suppression images. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance algorithm and LASSO regression with 10-fold cross-validation were used for key features selection. A radiomics model that incorporated the handcrafted-signature, deep-signature, and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) levels was developed by logistic regression. The model performance was assessed and validated with respect to its calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness.Results
Three handcrafted features and three deep-learning features were selected and used to build handcrafted- and deep-signature. The model, which incorporated the handcrafted-signature, deep-signature, and SCC-Ag, showed satisfactory calibration and discrimination in the training cohort (AUC: 0.852, 95% CI: 0.761-0.943) and the validation cohort (AUC: 0.815, 95% CI: 0.711-0.919). Decision curve analysis indicated the clinical usefulness of the radiomics model. The radiomics model yielded greater AUCs than either the radiomics signature (AUC = 0.806 and 0.779, respectively) or the SCC-Ag (AUC = 0.735 and 0.688, respectively) alone in both the training and validation cohorts.Conclusion
The presented radiomics model can be used for preoperative identification of LNM in patients with early-stage CSCC. Its performance outperforms that of SCC-Ag level analysis alone.Advances in knowledge
A radiomics model incorporated radiomics signature and SCC-Ag levels demonstrated good performance in identifying LNM in patients with early-stage CSCC.
