Machine learning based tissue analysis reveals Brachyury has a diagnosis value in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the present study was to confirm the role of Brachyury in breast cancer and to verify whether four types of machine learning models can use Brachyury expression to predict the survival of patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records to obtain patient information, and made the patient's paraffin tissue into tissue chips for staining analysis. We selected 303 patients for research and implemented four machine learning algorithms, including multivariate logistic regression model, decision tree, artificial neural network and random forest, and compared the results of these models with each other. Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to compare the results.

Results

The chi-square test results of relevant data suggested that the expression of Brachyury protein in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (P=0.0335); patients with breast cancer with high Brachyury expression had a worse overall survival (OS) compared with patients with low Brachyury expression. We also found that Brachyury expression was associated with ER expression (P=0.0489). Subsequently, we used four machine learning models to verify the relationship between Brachyury expression and the survival of patients with breast cancer. The results showed that the decision tree model had the best performance (AUC = 0.781).

Conclusions

Brachyury is highly expressed in breast cancer and indicates that patients had a poor prognosis. Compared with conventional statistical methods, decision tree model shows superior performance in predicting the survival status of patients with breast cancer.

Improved Machine Learning-Based Predictive Models for Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Project description:Breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer in American women. Machine learning-based predictive models promise earlier detection techniques for breast cancer diagnosis. However, making an evaluation for models that efficiently diagnose cancer is still challenging. In this work, we proposed data exploratory techniques (DET) and developed four different predictive models to improve breast cancer diagnostic accuracy. Prior to models, four-layered essential DET, e.g., feature distribution, correlation, elimination, and hyperparameter optimization, were deep-dived to identify the robust feature classification into malignant and benign classes. These proposed techniques and classifiers were implemented on the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) and Breast Cancer Coimbra Dataset (BCCD) datasets. Standard performance metrics, including confusion matrices and K-fold cross-validation techniques, were applied to assess each classifier's efficiency and training time. The models' diagnostic capability improved with our DET, i.e., polynomial SVM gained 99.3%, LR with 98.06%, KNN acquired 97.35%, and EC achieved 97.61% accuracy with the WDBC dataset. We also compared our significant results with previous studies in terms of accuracy. The implementation procedure and findings can guide physicians to adopt an effective model for a practical understanding and prognosis of breast cancer tumors.

Color Doppler Ultrasound Improves Machine Learning Diagnosis of Breast Cancer.

Project description:Color Doppler is used in the clinic for visually assessing the vascularity of breast masses on ultrasound, to aid in determining the likelihood of malignancy. In this study, quantitative color Doppler radiomics features were algorithmically extracted from breast sonograms for machine learning, producing a diagnostic model for breast cancer with higher performance than models based on grayscale and clinical category from the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System for ultrasound (BI-RADSUS). Ultrasound images of 159 solid masses were analyzed. Algorithms extracted nine grayscale features and two color Doppler features. These features, along with patient age and BI-RADSUS category, were used to train an AdaBoost ensemble classifier. Though training on computer-extracted grayscale features and color Doppler features each significantly increased performance over that of models trained on clinical features, as measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, training on both color Doppler and grayscale further increased the ROC area, from 0.925 ± 0.022 to 0.958 ± 0.013. Pruning low-confidence cases at 20% improved this to 0.986 ± 0.007 with 100% sensitivity, whereas 64% of the cases had to be pruned to reach this performance without color Doppler. Fewer borderline diagnoses and higher ROC performance were both achieved for diagnostic models of breast cancer on ultrasound by machine learning on color Doppler features.

Breast cancer outcome prediction with tumour tissue images and machine learning.

Project description:PurposeRecent advances in machine learning have enabled better understanding of large and complex visual data. Here, we aim to investigate patient outcome prediction with a machine learning method using only an image of tumour sample as an input.MethodsUtilising tissue microarray (TMA) samples obtained from the primary tumour of patients (N = 1299) within a nationwide breast cancer series with long-term-follow-up, we train and validate a machine learning method for patient outcome prediction. The prediction is performed by classifying samples into low or high digital risk score (DRS) groups. The outcome classifier is trained using sample images of 868 patients and evaluated and compared with human expert classification in a test set of 431 patients.ResultsIn univariate survival analysis, the DRS classification resulted in a hazard ratio of 2.10 (95% CI 1.33-3.32, p = 0.001) for breast cancer-specific survival. The DRS classification remained as an independent predictor of breast cancer-specific survival in a multivariate Cox model with a hazard ratio of 2.04 (95% CI 1.20-3.44, p = 0.007). The accuracy (C-index) of the DRS grouping was 0.60 (95% CI 0.55-0.65), as compared to 0.58 (95% CI 0.53-0.63) for human expert predictions based on the same TMA samples.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate the feasibility of learning prognostic signals in tumour tissue images without domain knowledge. Although further validation is needed, our study suggests that machine learning algorithms can extract prognostically relevant information from tumour histology complementing the currently used prognostic factors in breast cancer.

Radiomics and Machine Learning with Multiparametric Breast MRI for Improved Diagnostic Accuracy in Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Project description:The purpose of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate radiomics analysis coupled with machine learning (ML) of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) radiomics models separately and combined as multiparametric MRI for improved breast cancer detection. Consecutive patients (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, January 2018-March 2020; Medical University Vienna, from January 2011-August 2014) with a suspicious enhancing breast tumor on breast MRI categorized as BI-RADS 4 and who subsequently underwent image-guided biopsy were included. In 93 patients (mean age: 49 years ± 12 years; 100% women), there were 104 lesions (mean size: 22.8 mm; range: 7-99 mm), 46 malignant and 58 benign. Radiomics features were calculated. Subsequently, the five most significant features were fitted into multivariable modeling to produce a robust ML model for discriminating between benign and malignant lesions. A medium Gaussian support vector machine (SVM) model with five-fold cross validation was developed for each modality. A model based on DWI-extracted features achieved an AUC of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70-0.88), whereas a model based on DCE-extracted features yielded an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.75-0.91). A multiparametric radiomics model combining DCE- and DWI-extracted features showed the best AUC (0.85; 95% CI: 0.77-0.92) and diagnostic accuracy (81.7%; 95% CI: 73.0-88.6). In conclusion, radiomics analysis coupled with ML of multiparametric MRI allows an improved evaluation of suspicious enhancing breast tumors recommended for biopsy on clinical breast MRI, facilitating accurate breast cancer diagnosis while reducing unnecessary benign breast biopsies.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of transrectal multimodal ultrasound combined with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-related indicators and machine learning for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer.MethodsBased on Gleason score of postoperative pathological results, the subjects were divided into clinically significant prostate cancer groups(GS>6)and non-clinically significant prostate cancer groups(GS ≤ 6). The independent risk factors were obtained by univariate logistic analysis. Artificial neural network (ANN), logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) machine learning models were combined with clinically significant prostate cancer risk factors to establish the machine learning model, calculate the model evaluation indicators, construct the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), and calculate the area under the curve (AUC).ResultsIndependent risk factor items (P< 0.05) were entered into the machine learning model. A comparison of the evaluation indicators of the model and the area under the ROC curve showed the ANN model to be best at predicting clinically significant prostate cancer, with a sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 88.6%, F1 score of 0.897, and the AUC was 0.855.ConclusionEstablishing a machine learning model by rectal multimodal ultrasound and combining it with PSA-related indicators has definite application value in predicting clinically significant prostate cancer.

Development of a machine learning-based multimode diagnosis system for lung cancer.

Project description:As an emerging technology, artificial intelligence has been applied to identify various physical disorders. Here, we developed a three-layer diagnosis system for lung cancer, in which three machine learning approaches including decision tree C5.0, artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) were involved. The area under the curve (AUC) was employed to evaluate their decision powers. In the first layer, the AUCs of C5.0, ANN and SVM were 0.676, 0.736 and 0.640, ANN was better than C5.0 and SVM. In the second layer, ANN was similar with SVM but superior to C5.0 supported by the AUCs of 0.804, 0.889 and 0.825. Much higher AUCs of 0.908, 0.910 and 0.849 were identified in the third layer, where the highest sensitivity of 94.12% was found in C5.0. These data proposed a three-layer diagnosis system for lung cancer: ANN was used as a broad-spectrum screening subsystem basing on 14 epidemiological data and clinical symptoms, which was firstly adopted to screen high-risk groups; then, combining with additional 5 tumor biomarkers, ANN was used as an auxiliary diagnosis subsystem to determine the suspected lung cancer patients; C5.0 was finally employed to confirm lung cancer patients basing on 22 CT nodule-based radiomic features.

Diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer using expression data with several machine learning tools.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the top three commonly caused cancers worldwide. Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), a subtype of breast cancer, lacks expression of the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2. This makes the prognosis poor and early detection hard. Therefore, AI based neural models such as Binary Logistic Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron and Radial Basis Functions were used for differential diagnosis of normal samples and TNBC samples collected from signal intensity data of microarray experiment. Genes that were significantly upregulated in TNBC were compared with healthy controls. The MLP model classified TNBC and normal cells with anaccuracy of 93.4%. However, RBF gave 74% accuracy and binary Logistic Regression model showed an accuracy of 90.0% in identifying TNBC cases.
