ABSTRACT: Objective
To develop and externally validate a CT-based radiomics nomogram for pretreatment prediction of relapse in osteosarcoma patients within one year.Materials and methods
In this multicenter retrospective study, a total of 80 patients (training cohort: 63 patients from three hospitals; validation cohort: 17 patients from three other hospitals) with osteosarcoma, undergoing pretreatment CT between August 2010 and December 2018, were identified from multicenter databases. Radiomics features were extracted and selected from tumor regions on CT image, and then, the radiomics signature was constructed. The radiomics nomogram that incorporated the radiomics signature and clinical-based risk factors was developed to predict relapse risk with a multivariate Cox regression model using the training cohort and validated using the external validation cohort. The performance of the nomogram was assessed concerning discrimination, calibration, reclassification, and clinical usefulness.Results
Kaplan-Meier curves based on the radiomics signature showed a significant difference between the high-risk and the low-risk groups in both training and validation cohorts (P < 0.001 and P = 0.015, respectively). The radiomics nomogram achieved good discriminant results in the training cohort (C-index: 0.779) and the validation cohort (C-index: 0.710) as well as good calibration. Decision curve analysis revealed that the proposed model significantly improved the clinical benefit compared with the clinical-based nomogram (P < 0.001).Conclusions
This multicenter study demonstrates that a radiomics nomogram incorporated the radiomics signature and clinical-based risk factors can increase the predictive value of the osteosarcoma relapse risk, which supports the clinical application in different institutions.
