Computed tomography-based radiomic model for the prediction of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy response in patients with advanced gastric cancer. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2024; 16:4115-4128. [DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v16.i10.4115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 08/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (nICT) has emerged as a popular treatment approach for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) in clinical practice worldwide. However, the response of AGC patients to nICT displays significant heterogeneity, and no existing radiomic model utilizes baseline computed tomography to predict treatment outcomes.
AIM To establish a radiomic model to predict the response of AGC patients to nICT.
METHODS Patients with AGC who received nICT (n = 60) were randomly assigned to a training cohort (n = 42) or a test cohort (n = 18). Various machine learning models were developed using selected radiomic features and clinical risk factors to predict the response of AGC patients to nICT. An individual radiomic nomogram was established based on the chosen radiomic signature and clinical signature. The performance of all the models was assessed through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.
RESULTS The radiomic nomogram could accurately predict the response of AGC patients to nICT. In the test cohort, the area under curve was 0.893, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.803-0.991. DCA indicated that the clinical application of the radiomic nomogram yielded greater net benefit than alternative models.
CONCLUSION A nomogram combining a radiomic signature and a clinical signature was designed to predict the efficacy of nICT in patients with AGC. This tool can assist clinicians in treatment-related decision-making.

Radiomics in Oesogastric Cancer: Staging and Prediction of Preoperative Treatment Response: A Narrative Review and the Results of Personal Experience. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2664. [PMID: 39123392 PMCID: PMC11311587 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16152664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oesophageal, gastroesophageal, and gastric malignancies are often diagnosed at locally advanced stage and multimodal therapy is recommended to increase the chances of survival. However, given the significant variation in treatment response, there is a clear imperative to refine patient stratification. The aim of this narrative review was to explore the existing evidence and the potential of radiomics to improve staging and prediction of treatment response of oesogastric cancers. METHODS The references for this review article were identified via MEDLINE (PubMed) and Scopus searches with the terms "radiomics", "texture analysis", "oesophageal cancer", "gastroesophageal junction cancer", "oesophagogastric junction cancer", "gastric cancer", "stomach cancer", "staging", and "treatment response" until May 2024. RESULTS Radiomics proved to be effective in improving disease staging and prediction of treatment response for both oesophageal and gastric cancer with all imaging modalities (TC, MRI, and 18F-FDG PET/CT). The literature data on the application of radiomics to gastroesophageal junction cancer are very scarce. Radiomics models perform better when integrating different imaging modalities compared to a single radiology method and when combining clinical to radiomics features compared to only a radiomics signature. CONCLUSIONS Radiomics shows potential in noninvasive staging and predicting response to preoperative therapy among patients with locally advanced oesogastric cancer. As a future perspective, the incorporation of molecular subgroup analysis to clinical and radiomic features may even increase the effectiveness of these predictive and prognostic models.

Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024; 49:1363-1375. [PMID: 38305796 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-04165-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the value of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics based on contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CECT) to preoperatively predict microsatellite instability (MSI) status in gastric cancer (GC) patients. METHODS A total of 189 GC patients, including 63 patients with MSI-high (MSI-H) and 126 patients with MSI-low/stable (MSI-L/S), were randomly divided into the training cohort and validation cohort. Intratumoral and 5-mm peritumoral regions' radiomics features were extracted from CECT images. The features were standardized by Z-score, and the Inter- and intraclass correlation coefficient, univariate logistic regression analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were applied to select the optimal radiomics features. Radiomics scores (Rad-score) based on intratumoral regions, peritumoral regions, and intratumoral + 5-mm peritumoral regions were calculated by weighting the linear combination of the selected features with their respective coefficients to construct the intratumoral model, peritumoral model, and intratumoral + peritumoral model. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model by combining clinical characteristics, CT semantic features, and Rad-score of intratumoral and peritumoral regions. RESULTS Eleven radiomics features were selected to establish a radiomics intratumoral + peritumoral model. CT-measured tumor length and tumor location were independent risk factors for MSI status. The established combined model obtained the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.830 (95% CI, 0.727-0.906) in the validation cohort. The calibration curve and decision curve demonstrated its good model fitness and clinical application value. CONCLUSION The combined model based on intratumoral and peritumoral CECT radiomics features and clinical factors can predict the MSI status of GS with moderate accuracy before surgery, which helps formulate personalized treatment strategies.

Abstract
Effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) can improve the survival of patients with locally progressive gastric cancer, but chemotherapeutics do not always exhibit good efficacy in all patients. Therefore, accurate preoperative evaluation of the effect of neoadjuvant therapy and the appropriate selection of surgery time to minimize toxicity and complications while prolonging patient survival are key issues that need to be addressed. This paper reviews the role of three imaging methods, morphological, functional, radiomics, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging, in evaluating NAC pathological reactions for gastric cancer. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of each method and the future application prospects are discussed.

CT-based nomogram for early identification of T790M resistance in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer before first-line epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy. Eur Radiol Exp 2023; 7:64. [PMID: 37914925 PMCID: PMC10620367 DOI: 10.1186/s41747-023-00380-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the value of computed tomography (CT) radiomics in predicting the risk of developing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M resistance mutation for metastatic non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients before first-line EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) therapy. METHODS A total of 162 metastatic NSCLC patients were recruited and split into training and testing cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from tumor lesions on nonenhanced CT (NECT) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Radiomics score (rad-score) of two CT scans was calculated respectively. A nomogram combining two CT scans was developed to evaluate T790M resistance within up to 14 months. Patients were followed up to calculate the time of T790M occurrence. Models were evaluated by area under the curve at receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC-AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The association of the nomogram with the time of T790M occurrence was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS The nomogram constructed with the rad-score of NECT and CECT for predicting T790M resistance within 14 months achieved the highest ROC-AUCs of 0.828 and 0.853 in training and testing cohorts, respectively. The DCA showed that the nomogram was clinically useful. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the occurrence time of T790M difference between the high- and low-risk groups distinguished by the rad-score was significant (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The CT-based radiomics signature may provide prognostic information and improve pretreatment risk stratification in EGFR NSCLC patients before EGFR-TKIs therapy. The multimodal radiomics nomogram further improved the capability. RELEVANCE STATEMENT Radiomics based on NECT and CECT images can effectively identify and stratify the risk of T790M resistance before the first-line TKIs treatment in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients. KEY POINTS • Early identification of the risk of T790M resistance before TKIs treatment is clinically relevant. • Multimodel radiomics nomogram holds potential to be a diagnostic tool. • It provided an imaging surrogate for identifying the pretreatment risk of T790M.
