MRI texture features from tumor core and margin in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radiomics involving quantitative analysis of imaging has shown promises in oncology to serve as non-invasive biomarkers. We investigated whether pre-treatment T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer.

Materials and methods

MRI scans were obtained for 102 patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). All patients were treated with standard regimens of NAC as decided by the treating oncologist, followed by surgery and adjuvant treatment according to standard institutional practice. The primary tumor was segmented, and 11 texture features were extracted using the grey-level co-occurrence matrices analysis of the T2W-images from tumor cores and margins. Response assessment was done using clinical-pathological responses with patients classified into binary groups: responders and non-responders. Machine learning classifiers were used to develop a radiomics model, and a leave-one-out cross-validation technique was used to assess the performance.

Results

7 features were significantly (p < 0.05) different between the two response groups. The best classification accuracy was obtained using a k-nearest neighbor (kNN) model with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under curve of 63, 93, 87, and 0.78, respectively.

Conclusions

Pre-treatment T2-weighted MRI texture features can predict NAC response with reasonable accuracy.

Predicting pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer using multiparametric MRI.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aims to observe and analyze the effect of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the patients with locally advanced breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.MethodsFifty patients (mean age, 48.7 years) with stage II-III breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and preoperative MRI between 2016 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. The associations between preoperative breast MRI findings/clinicopathological features and outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were assessed.ResultsClinical stage at baseline (OR: 0.104, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.021-0.516, P = 0.006) and standard apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) change (OR: 9.865, 95% CI 1.024-95.021, P = 0.048) were significant predictive factors of the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The percentage increase of standard ADC value in pathologic complete response (pCR) group was larger than that in non-pCR group at first time point (P < 0.05). A correlation was observed between the change in standard ADC values and tumor diameter at first follow-up (r: 0.438, P < 0.05).ConclusionsOur findings support that change in standard ADC values and clinical stage at baseline can predict the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer in early stage.

Meta-analysis of neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.

Project description:Background and purposeWith the advent of more intensive chemotherapy regimens, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has always been questioned due to its inevitable radiation toxicity. Hence, we conducted a meta-analysis to compare the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and NACRT.Materials and methodsEligible studies were searched using PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to 31 July 2020, comparing the clinical efficacy of NAC versus NACRT for LARC. Short- and long-term outcomes were determined using the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsSix studies with 12,812 patients were eligible for this meta-analysis, including 677 patients in the NAC group and 12,135 patients in the NACRT group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of pathological complete response rate (OR=0.62, 95%CI=0.27~1.41), N down-staging rate (OR=1.20, 95%CI=0.25~5.79), R0 resection rate (OR=1.24, 95%CI=0.78~1.98), and local relapse rate (OR=1.12, 95%CI=0.58~2.14). The pooled OR for the total response rate and T down-staging were in favor of NACRT (OR=0.41, 95%CI=0.22~0.76 versus OR=0.67 95%CI=0.52~0.87). However, the pooled OR for the sphincter preservation rate favored NAC compared with NACRT (OR=1.87, 95%CI=1.24~2.81). Moreover, NAC was found to be superior to NACRT in terms of distant metastasis (14.3% vs. 20.4%), but the difference was not significant (OR=0.84, 95%CI=0.31~2.27).ConclusionWe concluded that NAC was superior to NACRT in terms of the sphincter preservation rate, and non-inferior to NACRT in terms of pCR, N down-staging, R0 resection, local relapse, and distant metastasis. However, the conclusion warrants further validation.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Asian Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer.

Project description:Presently, surgery is the only treatment approach for gastric cancer and improving the prognosis of locally advanced gastric cancer is one of the key factors in promoting gastric cancer survival benefit. The MAGIC study was the first to demonstrate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in European countries. In recent years, several clinical trials have provided evidence for the use of NAC in Asian patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. However, clinical practice guidelines vary between Asian and non-Asian populations. Optimal NAC regimens, proper target populations, and predictors of NAC outcomes in Asian patients are still under investigation. Herein, we summarized the current progress in the administration of NAC in Asian patients with gastric cancer.

Tumor response assessment in locally advanced colon cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Project description:Preoperative chemotherapy followed by radical surgery is a novel therapeutic approach for locally advanced colon cancer (LACC). Neoadjuvant strategies require highly accurate diagnostic tests for a proper selection of candidate patients, allowing a low risk of overtreatment. This paper assesses the radiological, metabolic and pathological findings induced by preoperative oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidines-based chemotherapy in LACC.Forty-four consecutive patients with a confirmed diagnosis of LACC who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and colon surgery were included. All patients were staged at baseline and before surgery. Clinical diagnosis consisted of physical examination, endoscopy with biopsy and computed tomography (CT) scan. In selected cases, a positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) scan was also performed. Accuracy and correlations between CT scan findings and pathologic report was assayed for T stage, N stage and TN stage. This study is retrospective in design.After chemotherapy, a statistical significant tumor volume reduction of 62.5% was achieved by CT-scan (P<0.001; Wilcoxon test) and a 38.9% decrease of standard uptake value (SUVmax) was observed on PET/CT (P=0.004). No progressive disease was reported during neoadjuvant treatment. Accuracy for T and N classification was 62% and 87%, respectively. Accuracy for TN stage was 77%, with 13.6% and 9.1% of the patients being under or overstaged, respectively. Pathologic stage II and III disease was observed in 29/44 (65.9%) and 15/44 (34.1%) of the patients, respectively. Pathologic complete response was achieved in three patients.Oxaliplatin/fluorpyrimidine neoadjuvant chemotherapy induces major tumour shrinkage at both the pathological and radiological levels. The CT scan shows a high accuracy and a low overstaged rate in LACC patients treated by means of a neoadjuvant approach.

Quantitative ultrasound radiomics using texture derivatives in prediction of treatment response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate quantitative ultrasound (QUS) based higher-order texture derivatives in predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).Materials and methods100 Patients with LABC were scanned before starting NAC. Five QUS parametric image-types were generated from radio-frequency data over the tumor volume. From each QUS parametric-image, 4 grey level co-occurrence matrix-based texture images were derived (20 QUS-Tex1), which were further processed to create texture derivatives (80 QUS-Tex1-Tex2). Patients were classified into responders and non-responders based on clinical/pathological responses to treatment. Three machine learning algorithms based on linear discriminant (FLD), k-nearest-neighbors (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM) were used for developing radiomic models of response prediction.ResultsA KNN-model provided the best results with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under curve (AUC) of 87%, 81%, 82%, and 0.86, respectively. The most helpful features in separating the two response groups were QUS-Tex1-Tex2 features. The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) calculated for KNN predicted responders and non-responders using QUS-Tex1-Tex2 model were comparable to RFS for the actual response groups.ConclusionsWe report the first study demonstrating QUS texture-derivative methods in predicting NAC responses in LABC, which leads to better results compared to using texture features alone.

Prediction of Response to Preoperative Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Using Multicenter CT-Based Radiomic Analysis.

Project description:Objective: To investigate whether pre-treatment CT-derived radiomic features could be applied for prediction of clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Patients and Methods: Two hundred and seventy-seven LACC patients treated with NACT followed by surgery/radiotherapy were included in this multi-institution retrospective study. One thousand and ninety-four radiomic features were extracted from venous contrast enhanced and non-enhanced CT imaging for each patient. Five combined methods of feature selection were used to reduce dimension of features. Radiomics signature was constructed by Random Forest (RF) method in a primary cohort of 221 patients. A combined model incorporating radiomics signature with clinical factors was developed using multivariable logistic regression. Prediction performance was then tested in a validation cohort of 56 patients. Results: Radiomics signature containing pre- and post-contrast imaging features can adequately distinguish chemotherapeutic responders from non-responders in both primary and validation cohorts [AUCs: 0.773 (95% CI, 0.701-0.845) and 0.816 (95% CI, 0.690-0.942), respectively] and remain relatively stable across centers. The combined model has a better predictive performance with an AUC of 0.803 (95% CI, 0.734-0.872) in the primary set and an AUC of 0.821 (95% CI, 0.697-0.946) in the validation set, compared to radiomics signature alone. Both models showed good discrimination, calibration. Conclusion: Newly developed radiomic model provided an easy-to-use predictor of chemotherapeutic response with improved predictive ability, which might facilitate optimal treatment strategies tailored for individual LACC patients.

Radiomic analysis for pretreatment prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer: A multicentre study.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to investigate whether pre-therapeutic radiomic features based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict the clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).MethodsA total of 275 patients with LACC receiving NACT were enrolled in this study from eight hospitals, and allocated to training and testing sets (2:1 ratio). Three radiomic feature sets were extracted from the intratumoural region of T1-weighted images, intratumoural region of T2-weighted images, and peritumoural region of T2-weighted images before NACT for each patient. With a feature selection strategy, three single sequence radiomic models were constructed, and three additional combined models were constructed by combining the features of different regions or sequences. The performance of all models was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve.FindingsThe combined model of the intratumoural zone of T1-weighted images, intratumoural zone of T2-weighted images,and peritumoural zone of T2-weighted images achieved an AUC of 0.998 in training set and 0.999 in testing set, which was significantly better (p < .05) than the other radiomic models. Moreover, no significant variation in performance was found if different training sets were used.InterpretationThis study demonstrated that MRI-based radiomic features hold potential in the pretreatment prediction of response to NACT in LACC, which could be used to identify rightful patients for receiving NACT avoiding unnecessary treatment.

Multiphase and multiparameter MRI-based radiomics for prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundTo develop and validate radiomics models for prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) using both pre-NAT and post-NAT multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).MethodsIn this multicenter study, a total of 563 patients were included from two independent centers. 453 patients from center 1 were split into training and testing cohorts, the remaining 110 from center 2 served as an external validation cohort. Pre-NAT and post-NAT mpMRI was collected for feature extraction. The radiomics models were constructed using machine learning from a training cohort. The accuracy of the models was verified in a testing cohort and an independent external validation cohort. Model performance was evaluated using area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value.ResultsThe model constructed with pre-NAT mpMRI had favorable accuracy for prediction of non-response to NAT in the training cohort (AUC = 0.84), testing cohort (AUC = 0.81), and external validation cohort (AUC = 0.79). The model constructed with both pre-NAT and post-NAT mpMRI had powerful diagnostic value for pathologic complete response in the training cohort (AUC = 0.86), testing cohort (AUC = 0.87), and external validation cohort (AUC = 0.87).ConclusionsModels constructed with multiphase and multiparameter MRI were able to predict tumor response to NAT with high accuracy and robustness, which may assist in individualized management of LARC.

Attention mechanism based multi-sequence MRI fusion improves prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundAccurate prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is very important for treatment plan decision in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). The aim of this study was to investigate whether self-attention mechanism based multi-sequence fusion strategy applied to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based deep learning or hand-crafted radiomics model construction can improve prediction of response to nCRT in LARC.MethodsThis retrospective analysis enrolled 422 consecutive patients with LARC who received nCRT before surgery at two hospitals. All patients underwent multiparametric MRI scans with three imaging sequences. Tumor regression grade (TRG) was used to assess the response of nCRT based on the resected specimen. Patients were separated into 2 groups: poor responders (TRG 2, 3) versus good responders (TRG 0, 1). A self-attention mechanism, namely channel attention, was applied to fuse the three sequence information for deep learning and radiomics models construction. For comparison, other two models without channel attention were also constructed. All models were developed in the same hospital and validated in the other hospital.ResultsThe deep learning model with channel attention mechanism achieved area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.898 in the internal validation cohort and 0.873 in the external validation cohort, which was the best performed model in all cohorts. More importantly, both the deep learning and radiomics model that applied channel attention mechanism performed better than those without channel attention mechanism.ConclusionsThe self-attention mechanism based multi-sequence fusion strategy can improve prediction of response to nCRT in LARC.
