Prediction of Lymph-Node Metastasis in Cancers Using Differentially Expressed mRNA and Non-coding RNA Signatures.

ABSTRACT: Accurate prediction of lymph-node metastasis in cancers is pivotal for the next targeted clinical interventions that allow favorable prognosis for patients. Different molecular profiles (mRNA and non-coding RNAs) have been widely used to establish classifiers for cancer prediction (e.g., tumor origin, cancerous or non-cancerous state, cancer subtype). However, few studies focus on lymphatic metastasis evaluation using these profiles, and the performance of classifiers based on different profiles has also not been compared. Here, differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs between lymph-node metastatic and non-metastatic groups were identified as molecular signatures to construct classifiers for lymphatic metastasis prediction in different cancers. With this similar feature selection strategy, support vector machine (SVM) classifiers based on different profiles were systematically compared in their prediction performance. For representative cancers (a total of nine types), these classifiers achieved comparative overall accuracies of 81.00% (67.96-92.19%), 81.97% (70.83-95.24%), and 80.78% (69.61-90.00%) on independent mRNA, miRNA, and lncRNA datasets, with a small set of biomarkers (6, 12, and 4 on average). Therefore, our proposed feature selection strategies are economical and efficient to identify biomarkers that aid in developing competitive classifiers for predicting lymph-node metastasis in cancers. A user-friendly webserver was also deployed to help researchers in metastasis risk determination by submitting their expression profiles of different origins.

Project description:Radiomics studies to predict lymph node (LN) metastasis has only focused on either primary tumor or LN alone. However, combining radiomics features from multiple sources may reflect multiple characteristic of the lesion thereby increasing the discriminative performance of the radiomic model. Therefore, the present study intends to evaluate the efficiency of integrative nomogram, created by combining clinical parameters and radiomics features extracted from gross tumor volume (GTV), peritumoral volume (PTV) and LN, for the preoperative prediction of LN metastasis in clinical cT1N0M0 adenocarcinoma. A primary cohort of 163 patients (training cohort, 113; and internal validation cohort, 50) and an external validation cohort of 53 patients with clinical stage cT1N0M0 were retrospectively included. Features were extracted from three regions of interests (ROIs): GTV; PTV (5.0 mm around the tumor) and LN on pre-operative contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT). LASSO logistic regression method was used to build radiomic signatures. Multivariable regression analysis was used to build a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was assessed with respect to its calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness. The discriminative performance of nomogram was validated both internally and externally. The radiomic signatures using the features of GTV, PTV and LN showed a good ability in predicting LN metastasis with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.74 (95% CI 0.60-0.88), 0.72 (95% CI 0.57-0.87) and 0.64 (95% CI 0.48-0.80) respectively in external validation cohort. The integration of different signature together further increases the discriminatory ability: GTV + PTV (GPTV): AUC 0.75 (95% CI 0.61-0.89) and GPTV + LN: AUC 0.76 (95% CI 0.61-0.91) in external validation cohort. An integrative nomogram of clinical parameters and radiomic features demonstrated further increase in discriminatory ability with AUC of 0.79 (95% CI 0.66-0.93) in external validation cohort. The nomogram showed good calibration. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the radiomic nomogram was clinically useful. The integration of information from clinical parameters along with CT radiomics information from GTV, PTV and LN was feasible and increases the predictive performance of the nomogram in predicting LN status in cT1N0M0 adenocarcinoma patients suggesting merit of information integration from multiple sources in building prediction model.
