J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 28:710-718. [PMID: 38462423 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.02.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver metastasis (LIM) is an important factor in the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and prognosis of patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). There is no simple tool to assess the risk of LIM in patients with gastric GIST. Our aim was to develop and validate a nomogram to identify patients with gastric GIST at high risk of LIM. METHODS Patient data diagnosed as having gastric GIST between 2010 and 2019 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and randomly divided into training cohort and internal validation cohort in a 7:3 ratio. For external validation, retrospective data collection was performed on patients diagnosed as having gastric GIST at Yunnan Cancer Center (YNCC) between January 2015 and May 2023. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors associated with LIM in patients with gastric GIST. An individualized LIM nomogram specific for gastric GIST was formulated based on the multivariate logistic model; its discriminative performance, calibration, and clinical utility were evaluated. RESULTS In the SEER database, a cohort of 2341 patients with gastric GIST was analyzed, of which 173 cases (7.39%) were found to have LIM; 239 patients with gastric GIST from the YNCC database were included, of which 25 (10.46%) had LIM. Multivariate analysis showed tumor size, tumor site, and sex were independent risk factors for LIM (P < .05). The nomogram based on the basic clinical characteristics of tumor size, tumor site, sex, and age demonstrated significant discrimination, with an area under the curve of 0.753 (95% CI, 0.692-0.814) and 0.836 (95% CI, 0.743-0.930) in the internal and external validation cohort, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the nomogram was well calibrated, whereas the decision curve analysis and the clinical impact plot demonstrated its clinical utility. CONCLUSION Tumor size, tumor subsite, and sex were significantly correlated with the risk of LIM in gastric GIST. The nomogram for patients with GIST can effectively predict the individualized risk of LIM and contribute to the planning and decision making related to metastasis management in clinical practice.

Convolutional neural network applied to preoperative venous-phase CT images predicts risk category in patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:280. [PMID: 38429653 PMCID: PMC10908217 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-11962-y] [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: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risk category of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are closely related to the surgical method, the scope of resection, and the need for preoperative chemotherapy. We aimed to develop and validate convolutional neural network (CNN) models based on preoperative venous-phase CT images to predict the risk category of gastric GISTs. METHOD A total of 425 patients pathologically diagnosed with gastric GISTs at the authors' medical centers between January 2012 and July 2021 were split into a training set (154, 84, and 59 with very low/low, intermediate, and high-risk, respectively) and a validation set (67, 35, and 26, respectively). Three CNN models were constructed by obtaining the upper and lower 1, 4, and 7 layers of the maximum tumour mask slice based on venous-phase CT Images and models of CNN_layer3, CNN_layer9, and CNN_layer15 established, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) and the Obuchowski index were calculated to compare the diagnostic performance of the CNN models. RESULTS In the validation set, CNN_layer3, CNN_layer9, and CNN_layer15 had AUROCs of 0.89, 0.90, and 0.90, respectively, for low-risk gastric GISTs; 0.82, 0.83, and 0.83 for intermediate-risk gastric GISTs; and 0.86, 0.86, and 0.85 for high-risk gastric GISTs. In the validation dataset, CNN_layer3 (Obuchowski index, 0.871) provided similar performance than CNN_layer9 and CNN_layer15 (Obuchowski index, 0.875 and 0.873, respectively) in prediction of the gastric GIST risk category (All P >.05). CONCLUSIONS The CNN based on preoperative venous-phase CT images showed good performance for predicting the risk category of gastric GISTs.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are rare mesenchymal neoplasms originating from the Cajal cells and represent the most common sarcomas in the gastroenteric tract. Symptoms may be absent or non-specific, ranging from fatigue and weight loss to acute abdomen. Nowadays endoscopy, echoendoscopy, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography are the main methods for diagnosis. Because of their rarity, these neoplasms may not be included immediately in the differential diagnosis of a solitary abdominal mass. Radiomics is an emerging technique that can extract medical imaging information, not visible to the human eye, transforming it into quantitative data. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate how radiomics can improve the already known imaging techniques by providing useful tools for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these tumours.

Technol Cancer Res Treat 2023; 22:15330338231194502. [PMID: 37563940 PMCID: PMC10422904 DOI: 10.1177/15330338231194502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: To construct a simple scoring model for predicting the biological risk of gastrointestinal stromal tumors based on enhanced computed tomography (CT) features. Methods: The clinicopathological and imaging data of 149 patients with primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital. According to the risk classification, the patients were divided into low-risk group and high-risk group. The features of enhanced CT were observed and recorded. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the predictors of high-risk biological behaviors of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and then a simple scoring model was constructed according to the regression coefficients of each predictor. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the model. Results: There was no significant difference between the risk classification of gastrointestinal stromal tumor with gender and age (P = .168, .320), while significant difference was found between the tumor size and location (P < .001). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that tumor size, enlarged vessels feeding or draining the mass, peritumoral lymph node enlargement, and venous phase contrast enhancement rate were independent predictors of the biological risk of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (P < .05). The area under the curve value of tumor size, enlarged vessels feeding or draining the mass, peritumoral lymph node enlargement, and venous phase contrast enhancement rate as the high-risk predictor of gastrointestinal stromal tumor were 0.955, 0.729, 0.680, and 0.807, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve results showed that the area under the curve of the scoring model constructed based on enhanced CT features was 0.941 (95% confidence interval: 0.891-0.973). When the total score was >1, the sensitivity of the scoring model in diagnosing gastrointestinal stromal tumor was 85.58%, the specificity was 88.89%, the positive predictive value was 88.51%, the negative predictive value was 86.04%, and the accuracy was 86.18%. The results of DeLong test showed that the area under the curve of the scoring model was better than that of the receiver operating characteristic curve of tumor size, enlarged vessels feeding or draining the mass, peritumoral lymph node enlargement, venous phase contrast enhancement rate, and other indicators alone in predicting the high risk of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and the differences were statistically significant (Z = 26.510, P < .001; Z = 3.992, P < .001; Z = 6.353, P < .001; Z = 4.052, P = .013). Conclusion: The simple scoring model based on enhanced CT features is a simple and practical clinical prediction model, which is helpful to make preoperative individualized treatment plan and improve the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients.

Texture Features of Computed Tomography Image under the Artificial Intelligence Algorithm and Its Predictive Value for Colorectal Liver Metastasis. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:2279018. [PMID: 35935311 PMCID: PMC9325563 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2279018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the predictive role of texture features in computed tomography (CT) images based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). A total of 150 patients with colorectal cancer who were admitted to the hospital were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into three groups with 50 cases in each group. The patients who were found to suffer from the CRLM in the initial examination were included in group A. Patients who were found with CRLM in the follow-up were assigned to group B (B1: metastasis within 0.5 years, 16 cases; B2: metastasis within 0.5–1.0 years, 17 cases; and B3: metastasis within 1.0–2.0 years, 17 cases). Patients without liver metastases during the initial examination and subsequent follow-up were designated as group C. Image textures were analyzed for patients in each group. The prediction accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of CRLM in patients with six classifiers were calculated, based on which the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn. The results showed that the logistic regression (LR) classifier had the highest prediction accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, showing the best prediction effect, followed by the linear discriminant (LD) classifier. The prediction accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the LR classifier were higher in group B1 and group B3, and the prediction effect was better than that in group B2. The texture features of CT images based on the AI algorithms showed a good prediction effect on CRLM and had a guiding significance for the early diagnosis and treatment of CRLM. In addition, the LR classifier showed the best prediction effect and high clinical value and can be popularized and applied.
