Liu NJ, Liu MS, Tian W, Zhai YN, Lv WL, Wang T, Guo SL. The value of machine learning based on CT radiomics in the preoperative identification of peripheral nerve invasion in colorectal cancer: a two-center study. Insights Imaging 2024; 15:101. [PMID: 38578423 PMCID: PMC10997560 DOI: 10.1186/s13244-024-01664-1] [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: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to explore the application value of various machine learning (ML) algorithms based on multicenter CT radiomics in identifying peripheral nerve invasion (PNI) of colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS A total of 268 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent CT examination in two hospitals from January 2016 to December 2022 were considered. Imaging and clinicopathological data were collected through the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The Feature Explorer software (FAE) was used to identify the peripheral nerve invasion of colorectal patients in center 1, and the best feature selection and classification channels were selected. Finally, the best feature selection and classifier pipeline were verified in center 2. RESULTS The six-feature models using RFE feature selection and GP classifier had the highest AUC values, which were 0.610, 0.699, and 0.640, respectively. FAE generated a more concise model based on one feature (wavelet-HLL-glszm-LargeAreaHighGrayLevelEmphasis) and achieved AUC values of 0.614 and 0.663 on the validation and test sets, respectively, using the "one standard error" rule. Using ANOVA feature selection, the GP classifier had the best AUC value in a one-feature model, with AUC values of 0.611, 0.663, and 0.643 on the validation, internal test, and external test sets, respectively. Similarly, when using the "one standard error" rule, the model based on one feature (wave-let-HLL-glszm-LargeAreaHighGrayLevelEmphasis) achieved AUC values of 0.614 and 0.663 on the validation and test sets, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Combining artificial intelligence and radiomics features is a promising approach for identifying peripheral nerve invasion in colorectal cancer. This innovative technique holds significant potential for clinical medicine, offering broader application prospects in the field. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The multi-channel ML method based on CT radiomics has a simple operation process and can be used to assist in the clinical screening of patients with CRC accompanied by PNI. KEY POINTS • Multi-channel ML in the identification of peripheral nerve invasion in CRC. • Multi-channel ML method based on CT-radiomics can detect the PNI of CRC. • Early preoperative identification of PNI in CRC is helpful to improve the formulation of treatment strategies and the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive disease that has a strong causal relationship with asbestos exposure and represents a major challenge from both a diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoint. Despite recent improvements in patient care, PM typically carries a poor outcome, especially in advanced stages. Therefore, a timely and effective diagnosis taking advantage of currently available imaging techniques is essential to perform an accurate staging and dictate the most appropriate treatment strategy. Our aim is to provide a brief, but exhaustive and up-to-date overview of the role of multimodal medical imaging in the management of PM.

J Cancer Res Ther 2023; 19:1552-1559. [PMID: 38156921 DOI: 10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_2633_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to create and validate a clinic-radiomics nomogram based on computed tomography (CT) imaging for predicting preoperative perineural invasion (PNI) of rectal cancer (RC). MATERIAL AND METHODS This study enrolled 303 patients with RC who were divided into training (n = 242) and test datasets (n = 61) in an 8:2 ratio with all their clinical outcomes. A total of 3,296 radiomic features were extracted from CT images. Five machine learning (ML) models (logistic regression (LR)/K-nearest neighbor (KNN)/multilayer perceptron (MLP)/support vector machine (SVM)/light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM)) were developed using radiomic features derived from the arterial and venous phase images, and the model with the best diagnostic performance was selected. By combining the radiomics and clinical signatures, a fused nomogram model was constructed. RESULTS After using the Mann-Whitney U-test and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to remove redundant features, the MLP model proved to be the most efficient among the five ML models. The fusion nomogram based on MLP prediction probability further improves the ability to predict the PNI status. The area under the curve (AUC) of the training and test sets was 0.883 and 0.889, respectively, which were higher than those of the clinical (training set, AUC = 0.710; test set, AUC = 0.762) and radiomic models (training set, AUC = 0.840; test set, AUC = 0.834). CONCLUSIONS The clinical-radiomics combined nomogram model based on enhanced CT images efficiently predicted the PNI status of patients with RC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lung cancer has significant genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, leading to poor prognosis. Radiomic features have emerged as promising predictors of the tumor phenotype. However, the role of underlying information surrounding the cancer remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 508 patients with NSCLC from three institutions. Radiomics models were built using features from six tumor regions and seven classifiers to predict three prognostically significant tumor phenotypes. The models were evaluated and interpreted by the mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) under nested cross-validation and Shapley values. The best-performing predictive models corresponding to six tumor regions and three tumor phenotypes were identified for further comparative analysis. In addition, we designed five experiments with different voxel spacing to assess the sensitivity of the experimental results to the spatial resolution of the voxels. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that models based on 2D, 3D, and peritumoral region features yielded mean AUCs and 95% confidence intervals of 0.759 and [0.747-0.771] for lymphovascular invasion, 0.889 and [0.882-0.896] for pleural invasion, and 0.839 and [0.829-0.849] for T-staging in the testing cohort, which was significantly higher than all other models. Similar results were obtained for the model combining the three regional features at five voxel spacings. CONCLUSION Our study revealed the predictive role of the developed methods with multi-regional features for the preoperative assessment of prognostic factors in NSCLC. The analysis of different voxel spacing and model interpretability strengthens the experimental findings and contributes to understanding the biological significance of the radiological phenotype.

[PMID: 36515713 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09318-w] [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: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics for preoperatively differentiating type I and II epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) using different machine learning classifiers and to construct and validate the best diagnostic model. METHODS A total of 470 patients with EOCs were included retrospectively. Patients were divided into a training dataset (N = 329) and a test dataset (N = 141). A total of 1316 radiomics features were extracted from the portal venous phase of contrast-enhanced CT images for each patient, followed by dimension reduction of the features. The support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), naïve Bayes (NB), logistic regression (LR), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifiers were trained to obtain the radiomics signatures. The performance of each radiomics signature was evaluated and compared by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and relative standard deviation (RSD). The best radiomics signature was selected and combined with clinical and radiological features to establish a combined model. The diagnostic value of the combined model was assessed. RESULTS The LR-based radiomics signature performed well in the test dataset, with an AUC of 0.879 and an accuracy of 0.773. The combined model performed best in both the training and test datasets, with AUCs of 0.900 and 0.934 and accuracies of 0.848 and 0.823, respectively. CONCLUSION The combined model showed the best diagnostic performance for distinguishing between type I and II EOCs preoperatively. Therefore, it can be a useful tool for clinical individualized EOC classification. KEY POINTS • Radiomics features extracted from computed tomography (CT) could be used to differentiate type I and II epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). • Machine learning can improve the performance of differentiating type I and II EOCs. • The combined model exhibited the best diagnostic capability over the other models in both the training and test datasets.

Abstract
Radiomics is the process of extraction of high-throughput quantitative imaging features from medical images. These features represent noninvasive quantitative biomarkers that go beyond the traditional imaging features visible to the human eye. This article first reviews the steps of the radiomics pipeline, including image acquisition, ROI selection and image segmentation, image preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, and model development and application. Current evidence for the application of radiomics in abdominopelvic solid-organ cancers is then reviewed. Applications including diagnosis, subtype determination, treatment response assessment, and outcome prediction are explored within the context of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, gynecologic cancer, and adrenal masses. This literature review focuses on the strongest available evidence, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and large multicenter studies. Limitations of the available literature are highlighted, including marked heterogeneity in radiomics methodology, frequent use of small sample sizes with high risk of overfitting, and lack of prospective design, external validation, and standardized radiomics workflow. Thus, although studies have laid a foundation that supports continued investigation into radiomics models, stronger evidence is needed before clinical adoption.

Computed tomography-based radiomics nomogram for the preoperative prediction of perineural invasion in colorectal cancer: a multicentre study. ABDOMINAL RADIOLOGY (NEW YORK) 2022; 47:3251-3263. [PMID: 35960308 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-022-03620-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate a computed tomography (CT) radiomics nomogram from multicentre datasets for preoperative prediction of perineural invasion (PNI) in colorectal cancer. METHODS A total of 299 patients with histologically confirmed colorectal cancer from three hospitals were enrolled in this retrospective study. Radiomic features were extracted from the whole tumour volume. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression was applied for feature selection and radiomics signature construction. Finally, a radiomics nomogram combining the radiomics score and clinical predictors was established. The receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the radiomics nomogram in the training cohort, internal validation and external validation cohorts. RESULTS Twelve radiomics features extracted from the whole tumour volume were used to construct the radiomics model. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the radiomics model in the training cohort, internal validation cohort, external validation cohort 1, and external validation cohort 2 were 0.82 (0.75-0.90), 0.77 (0.62-0.92), 0.71 (0.56-0.85), and 0.73 (0.60-0.85), respectively. The nomogram, which combined the radiomics score with T category and N category by CT, yielded better performance in the training cohort (AUC = 0.88), internal validation cohort (AUC = 0.80), external validation cohort 1 (AUC = 0.75), and external validation cohort 2 (AUC = 0.76). DCA confirmed the clinical utility of the nomogram. CONCLUSIONS The CT-based radiomics nomogram has the potential to accurately predict PNI in patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of machine-learning-based contrast-enhanced CT radiomic analysis for categorizing benign and malignant ovarian tumors.MethodsA total of 1,329 patients with ovarian tumors were randomly divided into a training cohort (N=930) and a validation cohort (N=399). All tumors were resected, and pathological findings were confirmed. Radiomic features were extracted from the portal venous phase images of contrast-enhanced CT. The clinical predictors included age, CA-125, HE-4, ascites, and margin of tumor. Both radiomics model (including selected radiomic features) and mixed model (incorporating selected radiomic features and clinical predictors) were constructed respectively. Six classifiers [k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)] were used for each model. The mean relative standard deviation (RSD) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were applied to evaluate and select the best classifiers. Then, the performances of the two models with selected classifiers were assessed in the validation cohort.ResultsThe MLP classifier with the least RSD (1.21 and 0.53, respectively) was selected as the best classifier in both radiomics and mixed models. The two models with MLP classifier performed well in the validation cohort, with the AUCs of 0.91 and 0.96 and with accuracies (ACCs) of 0.83 and 0.87, respectively. The Delong test showed that the AUC of mixed model was statistically different from that of radiomics model (p<0.001).ConclusionsMachine-learning-based CT radiomic analysis could categorize ovarian tumors with good performance preoperatively. The mixed model with MLP classifier may be a potential tool in clinical applications.

Abstract
BRCA-1 associated protein 1 (BAP1) tumour predisposition syndrome (TPDS) is a hereditary condition characterised by germline mutation of the tumour suppressor BAP1. This disorder is associated with the development of various benign and malignant tumours, mainly involving the skin, eyes, kidneys, and mesothelium. In this article, we report the case of a man recruited through the Apulia (Southern Italy) Mesothelioma Regional Operational Centre of the National Register of Mesotheliomas, who suffered from uveal melanoma, renal cancer, and mesothelioma, and a familial cluster of BAP1 germline mutations demonstrated by molecular analyses. The family members of the proband developed multiple malignancies. As tumours arising in this context have specific peculiarities in terms of clinical behaviour, identification of this condition through appropriate genetic counselling should be considered for adequate primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention measures for offspring.

Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy with few treatment options. Recent advances have led to US Food and Drug Administration approvals and changes in the standard of care with a novel biomedical device approved for use with platinum-pemetrexed, and also for immunotherapy agents to be included as a frontline treatment option in unresectable disease. Although predictive biomarkers for systemic therapy are not currently in use in clinical practice, it is essential to correctly identify the MPM histology to determine an optimal treatment plan. Patients with nonepithelioid MPM may have a greater magnitude of benefit to dual immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors and this regimen should be preferred in the frontline setting for these patients. However, all patients with MPM can derive benefit from immunotherapy treatments, and these agents should ultimately be used at some point during their treatment journey. There are ongoing studies in the frontline unresectable setting that may further define the frontline therapy space, but a critical area of research will need to focus on the immunotherapy refractory population. This review article will describe the new developments in the areas of biology with genomics and chromothripsis, and also focus on updates in treatment strategies in radiology, surgery, radiation, and medical oncology with cellular therapies. These recent innovations are generating momentum to find better therapies for this disease.

Abstract
The high-throughput extraction of quantitative imaging features from medical images for the purpose of radiomic analysis, i.e., radiomics in a broad sense, is a rapidly developing and emerging research field that has been attracting increasing interest, particularly in multimodality and multi-omics studies. In this context, the quantitative analysis of multidimensional data plays an essential role in assessing the spatio-temporal characteristics of different tissues and organs and their microenvironment. Herein, recent developments in this method, including manually defined features, data acquisition and preprocessing, lesion segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection and dimension reduction, statistical analysis, and model construction, are reviewed. In addition, deep learning-based techniques for automatic segmentation and radiomic analysis are being analyzed to address limitations such as rigorous workflow, manual/semi-automatic lesion annotation, and inadequate feature criteria, and multicenter validation. Furthermore, a summary of the current state-of-the-art applications of this technology in disease diagnosis, treatment response, and prognosis prediction from the perspective of radiology images, multimodality images, histopathology images, and three-dimensional dose distribution data, particularly in oncology, is presented. The potential and value of radiomics in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are also further analyzed, and for the first time, the advances and challenges associated with dosiomics in radiotherapy are summarized, highlighting the latest progress in radiomics. Finally, a robust framework for radiomic analysis is presented and challenges and recommendations for future development are discussed, including but not limited to the factors that affect model stability (medical big data and multitype data and expert knowledge in medical), limitations of data-driven processes (reproducibility and interpretability of studies, different treatment alternatives for various institutions, and prospective researches and clinical trials), and thoughts on future directions (the capability to achieve clinical applications and open platform for radiomics analysis).
