Clin Radiol 2024:S0009-9260(24)00283-6. [PMID: 38955636 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2024.05.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to create and authenticate a prognostic model for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) that integrates clinical, radiomics, and deep transfer learning features. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we analyzed data from 119 CRC patients who underwent F18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scanning. The patient cohort was divided into training and validation subsets in an 8:2 ratio, with an additional 33 external data points for testing. Initially, we conducted univariate analysis to screen clinical parameters. Radiomics features were extracted from manually drawn images using pyradiomics, and deep-learning features, radiomics features, and clinical features were selected using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression and Spearman correlation coefficient. We then constructed a model by training a support vector machine (SVM), and evaluated the performance of the prediction model by comparing the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. Finally, we developed nomograms combining clinical and radiological features for interpretation and analysis. RESULTS The deep learning radiomics (DLR) nomogram model, which was developed by integrating deep learning, radiomics, and clinical features, exhibited excellent performance. The area under the curve was (AUC = 0.934, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.884-0.983) in the training cohort, (AUC = 0.902, 95% CI: 0.769-1.000) in the validation cohort, and (AUC = 0.836, 95% CI: 0.673-0.998) in the test cohort. CONCLUSION We developed a preoperative predictive machine-learning model using deep transfer learning, radiomics, and clinical features to differentiate LNM status in CRC, aiding in treatment decision-making for patients.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Oxaliplatin and Fluoropyrimidine Versus Upfront Surgery for Locally Advanced Colon Cancer: The Randomized, Phase III OPTICAL Trial. J Clin Oncol 2024:JCO2301889. [PMID: 38564700 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.01889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in colon cancer remains unclear. This trial investigated whether 3 months of modified infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) or capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) as NAC could improve outcomes in patients with locally advanced colon cancer versus upfront surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS OPTICAL was a randomized, phase III trial in patients with clinically staged locally advanced colon cancer (T3 with extramural spread into the mesocolic fat ≥5 mm or T4). Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive six preoperative cycles of mFOLFOX6 or four cycles of CAPOX, followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC group), or immediate surgery and the physician's choice of adjuvant chemotherapy (upfront surgery group). The primary end point was 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) assessed in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population. RESULTS Between January 2016 and April 2021, of the 752 patients enrolled, 744 patients were included in the mITT analysis (371 in the NAC group; 373 in the upfront surgery group). At a median follow-up of 48.0 months (IQR, 46.0-50.1), 3-year DFS rates were 82.1% in the NAC group and 77.5% in the upfront surgery group (stratified hazard ratio [HR], 0.74 [95% CI, 0.54 to 1.03]). The R0 resection was achieved in 98% of patients who underwent surgery in both groups. Compared with upfront surgery, NAC resulted in a 7% pathologic complete response rate (pCR), significantly lower rates of advanced tumor staging (pT3-4: 77% v 94%), lymph node metastasis (pN1-2: 31% v 46%), and potentially improved overall survival (stratified HR, 0.44 [95% CI, 0.25 to 0.77]). CONCLUSION NAC with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX did not show a significant DFS benefit. However, this neoadjuvant approach was safe, resulted in substantial pathologic downstaging, and appears to be a viable therapeutic option for locally advanced colon cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accurately acquiring and assigning different contrast-enhanced phases in computed tomography (CT) is relevant for clinicians and for artificial intelligence orchestration to select the most appropriate series for analysis. However, this information is commonly extracted from the CT metadata, which is often wrong. This study aimed at developing an automatic pipeline for classifying intravenous (IV) contrast phases and additionally for identifying contrast media in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study used 1200 CT scans collected at the investigating institution between January 4, 2016 and September 12, 2022, and 240 CT scans from multiple centers from The Cancer Imaging Archive for external validation. The open-source segmentation algorithm TotalSegmentator was used to identify regions of interest (pulmonary artery, aorta, stomach, portal/splenic vein, liver, portal vein/hepatic veins, inferior vena cava, duodenum, small bowel, colon, left/right kidney, urinary bladder), and machine learning classifiers were trained with 5-fold cross-validation to classify IV contrast phases (noncontrast, pulmonary arterial, arterial, venous, and urographic) and GIT contrast enhancement. The performance of the ensembles was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS For the IV phase classification task, the following AUC scores were obtained for the internal test set: 99.59% [95% CI, 99.58-99.63] for the noncontrast phase, 99.50% [95% CI, 99.49-99.52] for the pulmonary-arterial phase, 99.13% [95% CI, 99.10-99.15] for the arterial phase, 99.8% [95% CI, 99.79-99.81] for the venous phase, and 99.7% [95% CI, 99.68-99.7] for the urographic phase. For the external dataset, a mean AUC of 97.33% [95% CI, 97.27-97.35] and 97.38% [95% CI, 97.34-97.41] was achieved for all contrast phases for the first and second annotators, respectively. Contrast media in the GIT could be identified with an AUC of 99.90% [95% CI, 99.89-99.9] in the internal dataset, whereas in the external dataset, an AUC of 99.73% [95% CI, 99.71-99.73] and 99.31% [95% CI, 99.27-99.33] was achieved with the first and second annotator, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The integration of open-source segmentation networks and classifiers effectively classified contrast phases and identified GIT contrast enhancement using anatomical landmarks.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the performance of deep learning and radiomics features of intra-tumoral region (ITR) and peri-tumoral region (PTR) in the diagnosing of breast cancer lung metastasis (BCLM) and primary lung cancer (PLC) with low-dose CT (LDCT). METHODS We retrospectively collected the LDCT images of 100 breast cancer patients with lung lesions, comprising 60 cases of BCLM and 40 cases of PLC. We proposed a fusion model that combined deep learning features extracted from ResNet18-based multi-input residual convolution network with traditional radiomics features. Specifically, the fusion model adopted a multi-region strategy, incorporating the aforementioned features from both the ITR and PTR. Then, we randomly divided the dataset into training and validation sets using fivefold cross-validation approach. Comprehensive comparative experiments were performed between the proposed fusion model and other eight models, including the intra-tumoral deep learning model, the intra-tumoral radiomics model, the intra-tumoral deep-learning radiomics model, the peri-tumoral deep learning model, the peri-tumoral radiomics model, the peri-tumoral deep-learning radiomics model, the multi-region radiomics model, and the multi-region deep-learning model. RESULTS The fusion model developed using deep-learning radiomics feature sets extracted from the ITR and PTR had the best classification performance, with the area under the curve of 0.913 (95% CI 0.840-0.960). This was significantly higher than that of the single region's radiomics model or deep learning model. CONCLUSIONS The combination of radiomics and deep learning features was effective in discriminating BCLM and PLC. Additionally, the analysis of the PTR can mine more comprehensive tumor information.

Deep learning radiomic analysis of DCE-MRI combined with clinical characteristics predicts pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer. Front Oncol 2023; 12:1041142. [PMID: 36686755 PMCID: PMC9850142 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1041142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to develop and validate a deep learning-based radiomic (DLR) model combined with clinical characteristics for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer. For early prediction of pCR, the DLR model was based on pre-treatment and early treatment dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) data. Materials and methods This retrospective study included 95 women (mean age, 48.1 years; range, 29-77 years) who underwent DCE-MRI before (pre-treatment) and after two or three cycles of NAC (early treatment) from 2018 to 2021. The patients in this study were randomly divided into a training cohort (n=67) and a validation cohort (n=28) at a ratio of 7:3. Deep learning and handcrafted features were extracted from pre- and early treatment DCE-MRI contoured lesions. These features contribute to the construction of radiomic signature RS1 and RS2 representing information from different periods. Mutual information and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used for feature selection. A combined model was then developed based on the DCE-MRI features and clinical characteristics. The performance of the models was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared using the DeLong test. Results The overall pCR rate was 25.3% (24/95). One radiomic feature and three deep learning features in RS1, five radiomic features and 11 deep learning features in RS2, and five clinical characteristics remained in the feature selection. The performance of the DLR model combining pre- and early treatment information (AUC=0.900) was better than that of RS1 (AUC=0.644, P=0.068) and slightly higher that of RS2 (AUC=0.888, P=0.604) in the validation cohort. The combined model including pre- and early treatment information and clinical characteristics showed the best ability with an AUC of 0.925 in the validation cohort. Conclusion The combined model integrating pre-treatment, early treatment DCE-MRI data, and clinical characteristics showed good performance in predicting pCR to NAC in patients with breast cancer. Early treatment DCE-MRI and clinical characteristics may play an important role in evaluating the outcomes of NAC by predicting pCR.
