Deep learning radiomics-based prediction of distant metastasis in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: A multicentre study.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate predictions of distant metastasis (DM) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) are helpful in developing appropriate treatment plans. This study aimed to perform DM prediction through deep learning radiomics.

Methods

We retrospectively sampled 235 patients receiving nCRT with the minimum 36 months' postoperative follow-up from three hospitals. Through transfer learning, a deep learning radiomic signature (DLRS) based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was constructed. A nomogram was established integrating deep MRI information and clinicopathologic factors for better prediction. Harrell's concordance index (C-index) and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) were used as performance metrics. Furthermore, the risk of DM in patients with different response to nCRT was evaluated with the nomogram.

Findings

DLRS performed well in DM prediction, with a C-index of 0·747 and an area under curve (AUC) at three years of 0·894 in the validation cohort. The performance of nomogram was better, with a C-index of 0·775. In addition, the nomogram could stratify patients with different responses to nCRT into high- and low-risk groups of DM (P < 0·05).

Interpretation

MRI-based deep learning radiomics had potential in predicting the DM of LARC patients receiving nCRT and could help evaluate the risk of DM in patients who have different responses to nCRT.
