A Multi-Classification Model for Predicting the Invasiveness of Lung Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Pure Ground-Glass Nodules.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To establish a multi-classification model for precisely predicting the invasiveness (pre-invasive adenocarcinoma, PIA; minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, MIA; invasive adenocarcinoma, IAC) of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs).

Methods

By the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this retrospective study enrolled 346 patients (female, 297, and male, 49; age, 55.79 ± 10.53 (24-83)) presenting as pGGNs from 1292 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. A total of 27 clinical were collected and 1409 radiomics features were extracted by PyRadiomics package on python. After feature selection with L2,1-norm minimization, logistic regression (LR), extra w(ET) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) were used to construct the three-classification model. Then, an ensemble model of the three algorithms based on model ensemble strategy was established to further improve the classification performance.

Results

After feature selection, a hybrid of 166 features consisting of 1 clinical (short-axis diameter, ranked 27th) and 165 radiomics (4 shape, 71 intensity and 90 texture) features were selected. The three most important features are wavelet-HLL_firstorder_Minimum, wavelet-HLL_ngtdm_Busyness and square_firstorder_Kurtosis. The hybrid-ensemble model based on hybrid clinical-radiomics features and the ensemble strategy showed more accurate predictive performance than other models (hybrid-LR, hybrid-ET, hybrid-GBDT, clinical-ensemble and radiomics-ensemble). On the training set and test set, the model can obtain the accuracy values of 0.918 ± 0.022 and 0.841, and its F1-scores respectively were 0.917 ± 0.024 and 0.824.

Conclusion

The multi-classification of invasive pGGNs can be precisely predicted by our proposed hybrid-ensemble model to assist patients in the early diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma and prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with consistent lung pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) have a high incidence of lung adenocarcinoma that can be classified as adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), or invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). Regular follow-up is recommended for AIS and MIA, while surgical resection should be considered for IAC. This study sought to develop a multi-parameter prediction model to increase the diagnostic accuracy in discriminating between IAC and AIS or MIA.MethodsThe training data set comprised consecutive patients with lung pGGNs who underwent resection from January to December 2017 at the Zhongshan Hospital. Of the 370 resected pGGNs, 344 were pathologically confirmed to be AIS, MIA, or IAC and were included in the study. The 26 benign pGGNs were excluded. We compared differences in the clinical features (e.g., age and gender), the content of serum tumor biomarkers, the computed tomography (CT) parameters (e.g., nodule size and the maximal CT value), and the morphologic characteristics of nodules (e.g., lobulation, spiculation, pleura indentation, vacuole sign, and normal vessel penetration or abnormal vessel) between the pathological subtypes of AIS, MIA, and IAC. An abnormal vessel was defined as "vessel curve" or "vessel enlargement". Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and rank test. The IAC prediction model was constructed via a multivariate logistical regression. Our prediction model for lung pGGNs was further validated in a data set comprising consecutive patients from multiple medical centers in China from July to December 2018. In total, 345 resected pGGNs were pathologically diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma in the validation data set.ResultsIn the training data set, patients with pGGNs ≥10 mm in size had a high incidence (74.5%) of IAC. The maximal CT value of IAC [-416.1±121.2 Hounsfield unit (HU)] was much higher than that of MIA (-507.7±138.0 HU) and AIS (-602.6±93.3 HU) (P<0.001). IAC was more common in pGGNs that displayed any of the following CT manifestations: lobulation, spiculation, pleura indentation, vacuole sign, and vessel abnormality. The IAC prediction model was constructed using the parameters that were assessed as risk factors (i.e., the nodule size, maximal CT value, and CT signs). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of this model for diagnosing IAC was 0.910, which was higher than that of the AUC for nodule size alone (0.891) or the AUC for the maximal CT value alone (0.807) (P<0.05, respectively). A multicenter validation data set was used to validate the performance of our prediction model in diagnosing IAC, and our model was found to have an AUC of 0.883, which was higher than that of the AUC of 0.827 for the module size alone model or the AUC of 0.791 for the maximal CT value alone model (P<0.05, respectively).ConclusionsOur multi-parameter prediction model was more accurate at diagnosing IAC than models that used only nodule size or the maximal CT value alone. Thus, it is an efficient tool for identifying the IAC of malignant pGGNs and deciding if surgery is needed.

Project description:Objectives: To investigate the performance of radiomic-based quantitative analysis on CT images in predicting invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs). Methods: A total of 275 lung adenocarcinoma cases, with 322 pGGNs resected surgically and confirmed pathologically, from January 2015 to October 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All nodules were split into training and test cohorts randomly with a ratio of 4:1 to establish models to predict between pGGN-like adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and invasive adenocarcinoma (IVA). Radiomic feature extraction was performed using Pyradiomics with semi-automatically segmented tumor regions on CT scans that were contoured with an in-house plugin for 3D-Slicer. Random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) were used for feature selection and predictive model building in the training cohort. Three different predictive models containing conventional, radiomic, and combined models were built on the basis of the selected clinical, radiological, and radiomic features. The predictive performance of each model was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC). The predictive performance of two radiologists (A and B) and our radiomic predictive model were further investigated in the test cohort to see if radiomic predictive model could improve radiologists' performance in prediction between pGGN-like AIS/MIA and IVA. Results: Among 322 nodules, 48 (14.9%) were AIS and 102 (31.7%) were MIA with 172 (53.4%) for IVA. Age, diameter, density, and nine meaningful radiomic features were selected for model building in the training cohort. Three predictive models showed good performance in prediction between pGGN-like AIS/MIA and IVA (AUC > 0.8, P < 0.05) in both training and test cohorts. The AUC values in the test cohort were 0.824 (95% CI, 0.723-0.924), 0.833 (95% CI, 0.733-0.934), and 0.848 (95% CI, 0.750-0.946) for conventional, radiomic, and combined models, respectively. The predictive accuracy was 73.44 and 59.38% for radiologist A and radiologist B in the test cohort and was improved dramatically to 79.69 and 75.00% with the aid of our radiomic predictive model. Conclusion: The predictive models built in our study showed good predictive power with good accuracy and sensitivity, which provided a non-invasive, convenient, economic, and repeatable way for the prediction between IVA and AIS/MIA representing as pGGNs. The radiomic predictive model outperformed two radiologists in predicting pGGN-like AIS/MIA and IVA, and could significantly improve the predictive performance of the two radiologists, especially radiologist B with less experience in medical imaging diagnosis. The selected radiomic features in our research did not provide more useful information to improve the combined predictive model's performance.

Project description:ObjectivesTo investigate the value of radiomics based on CT imaging in predicting invasive adenocarcinoma manifesting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs).MethodsThis study enrolled 395 pGGNs with histopathology-confirmed benign nodules or adenocarcinoma. A total of 396 radiomic features were extracted from each labeled nodule. A Rad-score was constructed with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) in the training set. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to establish the radiographic model and the combined radiographic-radiomics model. The predictive performance was validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Based on the multivariate logistic regression analysis, an individual prediction nomogram was developed and the clinical utility was assessed.ResultsFive radiomic features and four radiographic features were selected for predicting the invasive lesions. The combined radiographic-radiomics model (AUC 0.77; 95% CI, 0.69-0.86) performed better than the radiographic model (AUC 0.71; 95% CI, 0.62-0.81) and Rad-score (AUC 0.72; 95% CI, 0.63-0.81) in the validation set. The clinical utility of the individualized prediction nomogram developed using the Rad-score, margin, spiculation, and size was confirmed in the validation set. The decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that using a model with Rad-score to predict the invasive lesion would be more beneficial than that without Rad-score and the clinical model.ConclusionsThe proposed radiomics-based nomogram that incorporated the Rad-score, margin, spiculation, and size may be utilized as a noninvasive biomarker for the assessment of invasive prediction in patients with pGGNs.Key points• CT-based radiomics analysis helps invasive prediction manifested as pGGNs. • The combined radiographic-radiomics model may be utilized as a noninvasive biomarker for predicting invasive lesion for pGGNs. • Radiomics-based individual nomogram may serve as a vital decision support tool to identify invasive pGGNs, obviating further workup and blind follow-up.
