Abstract
Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the brain, accounting for about 80% of all central nervous system malignancies. With the development of molecular biology, the molecular phenotypes of gliomas have been shown to be closely related to the process of diagnosis and treatment. The molecular phenotype of glioma also plays an important role in guiding treatment plans and evaluating treatment effects and prognosis. However, due to the heterogeneity of the tumors and the trauma associated with the surgical removal of tumor tissue, the application of molecular phenotyping in glioma is limited. With the development of imaging technology, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide structural and function information about tumors in a noninvasive and radiation-free manner. MRI is very important for the diagnosis of intracranial lesions. In recent years, with the development of the technology for tumor molecular diagnosis and imaging, the use of molecular phenotype information and imaging procedures to evaluate the treatment outcome of tumors has become a hot topic. By reviewing the related literature on glioma treatment and molecular typing that has been published in the past 20 years, and referring to the latest 2020 NCCN treatment guidelines, summarizing the imaging characteristic and sensitivity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy of different molecular phenotypes of glioma. In this article, we briefly review the imaging characteristics of different molecular phenotypes in gliomas and their relationship with radiosensitivity and chemosensitivity of gliomas.

Cereb Cortex 2024; 34:bhae151. [PMID: 38642107 DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhae151] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Glioma is a systemic disease that can induce micro and macro alternations of whole brain. Isocitrate dehydrogenase and vascular endothelial growth factor are proven prognostic markers and antiangiogenic therapy targets in glioma. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of whole brain morphologic features and radiomics to predict isocitrate dehydrogenase status and vascular endothelial growth factor expression levels. This study recruited 80 glioma patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype and high vascular endothelial growth factor expression levels, and 102 patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation and low vascular endothelial growth factor expression levels. Virtual brain grafting, combined with Freesurfer, was used to compute morphologic features including cortical thickness, LGI, and subcortical volume in glioma patient. Radiomics features were extracted from multiregional tumor. Pycaret was used to construct the machine learning pipeline. Among the radiomics models, the whole tumor model achieved the best performance (accuracy 0.80, Area Under the Curve 0.86), while, after incorporating whole brain morphologic features, the model had a superior predictive performance (accuracy 0.82, Area Under the Curve 0.88). The features contributed most in predicting model including the right caudate volume, left middle temporal cortical thickness, first-order statistics, shape, and gray-level cooccurrence matrix. Pycaret, based on morphologic features, combined with radiomics, yielded highest accuracy in predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation and vascular endothelial growth factor levels, indicating that morphologic abnormalities induced by glioma were associated with tumor biology.

[PMID: 38473432 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16051076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite significant progress in the prevention, screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of breast cancer (BC), it remains a highly prevalent and life-threatening disease affecting millions worldwide. Molecular subtyping of BC is crucial for predictive and prognostic purposes due to the diverse clinical behaviors observed across various types. The molecular heterogeneity of BC poses uncertainties in its impact on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Numerous studies have highlighted genetic and environmental differences between patients from different geographic regions, emphasizing the need for localized research. International studies have revealed that patients with African heritage are often diagnosed at a more advanced stage and exhibit poorer responses to treatment and lower survival rates. Despite these global findings, there is a dearth of in-depth studies focusing on communities in the African region. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are paramount to improving survival rates. In this context, radiogenomics emerges as a promising field within precision medicine. By associating genetic patterns with image attributes or features, radiogenomics has the potential to significantly improve early detection, prognosis, and diagnosis. It can provide valuable insights into potential treatment options and predict the likelihood of survival, progression, and relapse. Radiogenomics allows for visual features and genetic marker linkage that promises to eliminate the need for biopsy and sequencing. The application of radiogenomics not only contributes to advancing precision oncology and individualized patient treatment but also streamlines clinical workflows. This review aims to delve into the theoretical underpinnings of radiogenomics and explore its practical applications in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of BC and to put radiogenomics on a path towards fully integrated diagnostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current study aimed to construct and validate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics nomogram to predict tumor protein p53 gene status in rectal cancer patients using machine learning. METHODS Clinical and imaging data from 300 rectal cancer patients who underwent radical resections were included in this study, and a total of 166 patients with p53 mutations according to pathology reports were included in these patients. These patients were allocated to the training (n = 210) or validation (n = 90) cohorts (7:3 ratio) according to the examination time. Using the training data set, the radiomic features of primary tumor lesions from T2-weighted images (T2WI) of each patient were analyzed by dimensionality reduction. Multivariate logistic regression was used to screen predictive features, which were combined with a radiomics model to construct a nomogram to predict p53 gene status. The accuracy and reliability of the nomograms were assessed in both training and validation data sets using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS Using the radiomics model with the training and validation cohorts, the diagnostic efficacies were 0.828 and 0.795, the sensitivities were 0.825 and 0.891, and the specificities were 0.722 and 0.659, respectively. Using the nomogram with the training and validation data sets, the diagnostic efficacies were 0.86 and 0.847, the sensitivities were 0.758 and 0.869, and the specificities were 0.833 and 0.75, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The radiomics nomogram based on machine learning was able to predict p53 gene status and facilitate preoperative molecular-based pathological diagnoses.

Abstract
The advent of immunotherapy, a groundbreaking advancement in cancer treatment, has given rise to the prominence of the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a critical area of research. The clinical implications of an improved understanding of the TME are significant and far-reaching. Radiomics has been increasingly utilized in the comprehensive assessment of the TME and cancer prognosis. Similarly, the advancement of pathomics, which is based on pathological images, can offer additional insights into the panoramic view and microscopic information of tumors. The combination of pathomics and radiomics has revolutionized the concept of a "digital biopsy". As genomics and transcriptomics continue to evolve, integrating radiomics with genomic and transcriptomic datasets can offer further insights into tumor and microenvironment heterogeneity and establish correlations with biological significance. Therefore, the synergistic analysis of digital image features (radiomics, pathomics) and genetic phenotypes (genomics) can comprehensively decode and characterize the heterogeneity of the TME as well as predict cancer prognosis. This review presents a comprehensive summary of the research on important radiomics biomarkers for predicting the TME, emphasizing the interplay between radiomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and pathomics, as well as the application of multiomics in decoding the TME and predicting cancer prognosis. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in multiomics research. In conclusion, this review highlights the crucial role of radiomics and multiomics associations in the assessment of the TME and cancer prognosis. The combined analysis of radiomics, pathomics, genomics, and transcriptomics is a promising research direction with substantial research significance and value for comprehensive TME evaluation and cancer prognosis assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensive surgical resection has been found to be associated with longer survival in patients with gliomas, but the interactive prognostic value of molecular pathology of the surgical resection is unclear. This study evaluated the impact of molecular pathology and clinical characteristics on the surgical benefit in WHO grade 3 IDH-mutant gliomas. METHODS Clinical and pathological information of 246 patients with WHO grade 3 IDH-mutant gliomas were collected from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database (2006-2020). The role of the extent of resection on overall survival, stratified by molecular pathology and clinical characteristics, was investigated. We then assessed prognostic factors using a univariate log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model in the subgroups. RESULTS The extent of resection was an independent prognostic factor in the entire cohort, even when adjusted for molecular pathology. Gross total resection was found to be associated with longer survival in all patients and in the astrocytoma group but not in the oligodendroglioma group. Compared with subtotal resections, gross total resections resulted in a longer survival time for astrocytoma patients aged ≤ 45 years. However, there was no survival benefit from total resection in patients with astrocytoma aged > 45 years. CONCLUSIONS Extensive resection benefits only a proportion of patients with WHO grade 3 IDH-mutant gliomas. Younger patients with astrocytomas had survival benefits from extensive resection. In addition to clinical characteristics (especially age), molecular pathology impacted prognosis in patients with gliomas. Our findings provide guiding information to neurosurgeons while planning surgeries.

Front Oncol 2023; 13:1138069. [PMID: 37287921 PMCID: PMC10241997 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1138069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the utility of preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-based clinical-radiomic analysis combined with machine learning (ML) algorithms in predicting the expression of the Ki-67 proliferative index and p53 tumor suppressor protein in patients with meningioma. Methods This multicenter retrospective study included 483 and 93 patients from two centers. The Ki-67 index was classified into high (Ki-67≥5%) and low (Ki-67<5%)-expressed groups, and the p53 index was classified into positive (p53≥5%) and negative (p53<5%)-expressed groups. Clinical and radiological features were analyzed using univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. Six ML models were performed with different types of classifiers to predict Ki-67 and p53 status. Results In the multivariate analysis, larger tumor volumes (p<0.001), irregular tumor margin (p<0.001), and unclear tumor-brain interface (p<0.001) were independently associated with a high Ki-67 status, whereas the presence of both necrosis (p=0.003) and the dural tail sign (p=0.026) were independently associated with a positive p53 status. A relatively better performance was yielded from the model constructed by combined clinical and radiological features. The area under the curve (AUC) and accuracy of high Ki-67 were 0.820 and 0.867 in the internal test, and 0.666 and 0.773 in the external test, respectively. Regarding p53 positivity, the AUC and accuracy were 0.858 and 0.857 in the internal test, and 0.684 and 0.718 in the external test. Conclusion The present study developed clinical-radiomic ML models to non-invasively predict Ki-67 and p53 expression in meningioma using mpMRI features, and provides a novel non-invasive strategy for assessing cell proliferation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrence is a major factor in the poor prognosis of patients with glioma. The aim of this study was to predict glioma recurrence using machine learning based on radiomic features. METHODS We recruited 77 glioma patients, consisting of 57 newly diagnosed patients and 20 patients with recurrence. After extracting the radiomic features from T2-weighted images, the data set was randomly divided into training (58 patients) and testing (19 patients) cohorts. An automated machine learning method (the Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool) was applied to generate 10 independent recurrence prediction models. The final model was determined based on the area under the curve (AUC) and average specificity. Moreover, an independent validation set of 20 patients with glioma was used to verify the model performance. RESULTS Recurrence in glioma patients was successfully predicting by machine learning using radiomic features. Among the 10 recurrence prediction models, the best model achieved an accuracy of 0.81, an AUC value of 0.85, and a specificity of 0.69 in the testing cohort, but an accuracy of 0.75 and an AUC value of 0.87 in the independent validation set. CONCLUSIONS Our algorithm that is generated by machine learning exhibits promising power and may predict recurrence noninvasively, thereby offering potential value for the early development of interventions to delay or prevent recurrence in glioma patients.

Semantic Computed Tomography Features for Predicting BRCA1-associated Protein 1 and/or Tumor Protein p53 Gene Mutation Status in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2022:S0360-3016(22)03672-0. [PMID: 36586494 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2022.12.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore the semantic computed tomography (CT) features associated with BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) and/or tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS AND MATERIALS Clinical characteristics and gene mutation information of 336 ccRCC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas-Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma database (TCGA-KIRC). Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to examine prognosis by gene mutation. The CT imaging data and gene mutation information of 156 ccRCC patients treated between January 2019 and January 2021 (the training cohort) were retrospectively analyzed. The CT imaging information and gene mutation data of 123 patients with ccRCC were downloaded from The Cancer Imaging Archive and The Cancer Genome Atlas database (the external validation cohort). Univariate Chi-square test and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were performed to determine predictors of gene mutation; a nomogram was developed using these predictors. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were performed to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. RESULTS Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that BAP1 and/or TP53 mutation was significantly correlated with worse survival outcome. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis indicated ill-defined margin (P = .001), spiculated margin (P = .018), renal vein invasion (P = .002), and renal pelvis invasion (P = .001) were independent predictors of BAP1 and/or TP53 mutation. A nomogram containing these 4 semantic CT features was constructed; the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves was 0.872 (95% CI, 0.809-0.920). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed acceptable goodness-of-fit for the nomogram (X2 = 1.194, P = .742). The nomogram was validated in the validation cohort; it showed good accuracy (area under the receiving operating characteristic curve = 0.819, 95% CI, 0.740-0.883) and was well calibrated (X2 = 3.934, P = .559). CONCLUSIONS Semantic CT features are a potential and promising method for predicting BAP1 and/or TP53 mutation status in ccRCC patients.

The protein p53 has been extensively investigated since it was found 43 years ago and has become a "guardian of the genome" that regulates the division of cells by preventing the growth of cells and dividing them, that is, inhibits the development of tumors. Initial proof of protein existence by researchers in the mid-1970s was found by altering and regulating the SV40 big T antigen termed the A protein. Researchers demonstrated how viruses play a role in cancer by employing viruses' ability to create T-antigens complex with viral tumors, which was discovered in 1979 following a viral analysis and cancer analog research. Researchers later in the year 1989 explained that in Murine Friend, a virus-caused erythroleukemia, commonly found that p53 was inactivated to suggest that p53 could be a "tumor suppressor gene." The TP53 gene, encoding p53, is one of human cancer's most frequently altered genes. The protein-regulated biological functions of all p53s include cell cycles, apoptosis, senescence, metabolism of the DNA, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, and immunological response. We tried to unfold the history of the p53 protein, which was discovered long back in 1979, that is, 43 years of research on p53, and how p53's function has been developed through time in this article.

Cancer Biol Med 2022; 19:j.issn.2095-3941.2022.0469. [PMID: 36350010 PMCID: PMC9630520 DOI: 10.20892/j.issn.2095-3941.2022.0469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to summarize the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic features of various molecular subtypes of diffuse gliomas (DGs) in the Chinese population. METHODS In total, 1,418 patients diagnosed with DG between 2011 and 2017 were classified into 5 molecular subtypes according to the 2016 WHO classification of central nervous system tumors. The IDH mutation status was determined by immunohistochemistry and/or DNA sequencing, and 1p/19q codeletion was detected with fluorescence in situ hybridization. The median clinical follow-up time was 1,076 days. T-tests and chi-square tests were used to compare clinicopathological characteristics. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression methods were used to evaluate prognostic factors. RESULTS Our cohort included 15.5% lower-grade gliomas, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted (LGG-IDHm-1p/19q); 18.1% lower-grade gliomas, IDH-mutant (LGG-IDHm); 13.1% lower-grade gliomas, IDH-wildtype (LGG-IDHwt); 36.1% glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (GBM-IDHwt); and 17.2% glioblastoma, IDH-mutant (GBM-IDHm). Approximately 63.3% of the enrolled primary gliomas, and the median overall survival times for LGG-IDHm, LGG-IDHwt, GBM-IDHwt, and GBM-IDHm subtypes were 75.97, 34.47, 11.57, and 15.17 months, respectively. The 5-year survival rate of LGG-IDHm-1p/19q was 76.54%. We observed a significant association between high resection rate and favorable survival outcomes across all subtypes of primary tumors. We also observed a significant role of chemotherapy in prolonging overall survival for GBM-IDHwt and GBM-IDHm, and in prolonging post-relapse survival for the 2 recurrent GBM subtypes. CONCLUSIONS By controlling for molecular subtypes, we found that resection rate and chemotherapy were 2 prognostic factors associated with survival outcomes in a Chinese cohort with DG.

Abstract
PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the feasibility of predicting NF2 mutation status based on the MR radiomic analysis in patients with intracranial meningioma.MethodsThis retrospective study included 105 patients with meningiomas, including 60 NF2-mutant samples and 45 wild-type samples. Radiomic features were extracted from magnetic resonance imaging scans, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast T1-weighted images. Student’s t-test and LASSO regression were performed to select the radiomic features. All patients were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts in a 7:3 ratio. Five linear models (RF, SVM, LR, KNN, and xgboost) were trained to predict the NF2 mutational status. Receiver operating characteristic curve and precision-recall analyses were used to evaluate the model performance. Student’s t-tests were then used to compare the posterior probabilities of NF2 mut/loss prediction for patients with different NF2 statuses.ResultsNine features had nonzero coefficients in the LASSO regression model. No significant differences was observed in the clinical features. Nine features showed significant differences in patients with different NF2 statuses. Among all machine learning algorithms, SVM showed the best performance. The area under curve and accuracy of the predictive model were 0.85; the F1-score of the precision-recall curve was 0.80. The model risk was assessed by plotting calibration curves. The p-value for the H-L goodness of fit test was 0.411 (p> 0.05), which indicated that the difference between the obtained model and the perfect model was statistically insignificant. The AUC of our model in external validation was 0.83.ConclusionA combination of radiomic analysis and machine learning showed potential clinical utility in the prediction of preoperative NF2 status. These findings could aid in developing customized neurosurgery plans and meningioma management strategies before postoperative pathology.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most fatal primary brain tumors, and it is well-known for its difficulty in diagnosis and management. Medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and spectral imaging can efficiently aid physicians in diagnosing, treating, and evaluating patients with gliomas. With the increasing clinical records and digital images, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) based on medical imaging has reduced the burden on physicians treating gliomas even further. This review will classify AI technologies and procedures used in medical imaging analysis. Additionally, we will discuss the applications of AI in glioma, including tumor segmentation and classification, prediction of genetic markers, and prediction of treatment response and prognosis, using MRI, PET, and spectral imaging. Despite the benefits of AI in clinical applications, several issues such as data management, incomprehension, safety, clinical efficacy evaluation, and ethical or legal considerations, remain to be solved. In the future, doctors and researchers should collaborate to solve these issues, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary teamwork.

Abstract
Simple Summary Modern, personalized therapy approaches are increasingly changing advanced cancer into a chronic disease. Compared to imaging, novel omics methodologies in molecular biology have already achieved an individual characterization of cancerous lesions. With quantitative imaging biomarkers, analyzed by radiomics or deep learning, an imaging-based assessment of tumoral biology can be brought into clinical practice. Combining these with other non-invasive methods, e.g., liquid profiling, could allow for more individual decision making regarding therapies and applications. Abstract Similar to the transformation towards personalized oncology treatment, emerging techniques for evaluating oncologic imaging are fostering a transition from traditional response assessment towards more comprehensive cancer characterization via imaging. This development can be seen as key to the achievement of truly personalized and optimized cancer diagnosis and treatment. This review gives a methodological introduction for clinicians interested in the potential of quantitative imaging biomarkers, treating of radiomics models, texture visualization, convolutional neural networks and automated segmentation, in particular. Based on an introduction to these methods, clinical evidence for the corresponding imaging biomarkers—(i) dignity and etiology assessment; (ii) tumoral heterogeneity; (iii) aggressiveness and response; and (iv) targeting for biopsy and therapy—is summarized. Further requirements for the clinical implementation of these imaging biomarkers and the synergistic potential of personalized molecular cancer diagnostics and liquid profiling are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Radiomics is an advanced image-processing framework, which extracts image features and considers them as biomarkers towards personalized medicine. Applications include disease detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy response assessment/prediction. As radiation therapy aims for further individualized treatments, radiomics could play a critical role in various steps before, during and after treatment. Elucidation of the concept of radiomics-guided radiation therapy (RGRT) is the aim of this review, attempting to highlight opportunities and challenges underlying the use of radiomics to guide clinicians and physicists towards more effective radiation treatments. This work identifies the value of RGRT in various steps of radiotherapy from patient selection to follow-up, and subsequently provides recommendations to improve future radiotherapy using quantitative imaging features.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to detect the invisible metabolic abnormality in PET images of patients with anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) encephalitis using a multivariate cross-classification method. Methods Participants were divided into two groups, namely, the training cohort and the testing cohort. The training cohort included 17 healthy participants and 17 patients with anti-LGI1 encephalitis whose metabolic abnormality was able to be visibly detected in both the medial temporal lobe and the basal ganglia in their PET images [completely detectable (CD) patients]. The testing cohort included another 16 healthy participants and 16 patients with anti-LGI1 encephalitis whose metabolic abnormality was not able to be visibly detected in the medial temporal lobe and the basal ganglia in their PET images [non-completely detectable (non-CD) patients]. Independent component analysis (ICA) was used to extract features and reduce dimensions. A logistic regression model was constructed to identify the non-CD patients. Results For the testing cohort, the accuracy of classification was 90.63% with 13 out of 16 non-CD patients identified and all healthy participants distinguished from non-CD patients. The patterns of PET signal changes resulting from metabolic abnormalities related to anti-LGI1 encephalitis were similar for CD patients and non-CD patients. Conclusion This study demonstrated that multivariate cross-classification combined with ICA could improve, to some degree, the detection of invisible abnormal metabolism in the PET images of patients with anti-LGI1 encephalitis. More importantly, the invisible metabolic abnormality in the PET images of non-CD patients showed patterns that were similar to those seen in CD patients.

Abstract
Gliomas are a heterogenous group of central nervous system tumors with different outcomes and different therapeutic needs. Glioblastoma, the most common subtype in adults, has a very poor prognosis and disabling consequences. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification specifies that the typing and grading of gliomas should include molecular markers. The molecular characterization of gliomas has implications for prognosis, treatment planning, and prediction of treatment response. At present, gliomas are diagnosed via tumor resection or biopsy, which are always invasive and frequently risky methods. In recent years, however, substantial advances have been made in developing different methods for the molecular characterization of tumors through the analysis of products shed in body fluids. Known as liquid biopsies, these analyses can potentially provide diagnostic and prognostic information, guidance on choice of treatment, and real-time information on tumor status. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is another good source of tumor data; radiomics and radiogenomics can link the imaging phenotypes to gene expression patterns and provide insights to tumor biology and underlying molecular signatures. Machine and deep learning and computational techniques can also use quantitative imaging features to non-invasively detect genetic mutations. The key molecular information obtained with liquid biopsies and radiogenomics can be useful not only in the diagnosis of gliomas but can also help predict response to specific treatments and provide guidelines for personalized medicine. In this article, we review the available data on the molecular characterization of gliomas using the non-invasive methods of liquid biopsy and MRI and suggest that these tools could be used in the future for the preoperative diagnosis of gliomas.

Abstract
Objective We aim to establish and validate computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model for predicting TP53 status in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Methods We divided all patients into a training set 1 (n=66) and a testing set 1 (n=30) to establish and validate radiomics model to predict TP53. Radiomics features were selected by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression analysis. Five radiomics models were established by using K-Nearest Neighbor, logistics regressive, linear-support vector machine (SVM), gaussian-SVM, and polynomial-SVM in training set 1. We also divided all patients into a training set 2 and a testing set 2 according to different CT equipment to establish and evaluate the stability of the radiomics models. Results After ANOVA and subsequent Lasso regression analysis, 22 radiomics features were selected to build the radiomics model in training set 1. The radiomics model based on linear-SVM has the best predictive performance of the five models, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in training set 1 and testing set 1 were 0.831(95% confidence interval [CI] 0.692–0.970) and 0.797(95% CI 0.632–0.957) respectively. The specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy were 0.971(95% CI 0.834–0.999), 0.714(95% CI 0.535–0.848), and 0.843(95% CI 0.657–0.928) in training set 1 and 0.750(95% CI 0.500–0.938), 0.786(95% CI 0.571–1.000), and 0.667(95% CI 0.467–0.720) in testing set 1, respectively. In addition, the radiomics model also achieved stable prediction results even in different CT equipment. Decision curve analysis showed that the radiomics model for predicting TP53 status could benefit LSCC patients. Conclusion We developed and validated a relatively optimal radiomics model for TP53 status prediction by trying five different machine learning methods in patients with LSCC. It shown great potential of radiomics features for predicting TP53 status preoperatively and guiding clinical treatment.

[PMID: 35585843 PMCID: PMC9108285 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.866274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To explore the feasibility of predicting overall survival (OS) of patients with midline glioma using multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. Methods Data of 84 patients with midline gliomas were retrospectively collected, including 40 patients with OS > 12 months (28 cases were adults, 14 cases were H3 K27M-mutation) and 44 patients with OS < 12 months (29 cases were adults, 31 cases were H3 K27M-mutation). Features were extracted from the largest slice of tumors, which were manually segmented on T2-weighted (T2w), T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2 FLAIR), and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1c) images. Data were randomly divided into training (70%) and test cohorts (30%) and normalized and standardized using Z-scores. Feature dimensionality reduction was performed using the variance method and maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (mRMR) algorithm. We used the logistic regression algorithm to construct three models for T2w, T2 FLAIR, and T1c images as well as one combined model. The test cohort was used to evaluate the models, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, areas under the curve (AUCs), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated. The nomogram of the combined model was built and evaluated using a calibration curve. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical application value of the four models. Results A total of 1,316 features were extracted from T2w, T2 FLAIR, and T1c images, respectively. And then the best non-redundant features were selected from the extracted features using the variance method and mRMR. Finally, five features were extracted each from T2w, T2 FLAIR, and T1c images, and 12 features were extracted for the combined model. Four models were established using the optimal features. In the test cohort, the combined model performed the best out of all models. The AUCs of the T2w, T2 FLAIR, T1c, and combined models were 0.73, 0.78, 0.74, and 0.87, respectively, and accuracies were 0.72, 0.76, 0.72, and 0.84, respectively. The ROC curves and DCA showed that the combined model had the highest efficiency and most favorable clinical benefits. Conclusion The combined radiomics model based on multi-parameter MRI features provided a reliable non-invasive method for the prognostic prediction of midline gliomas.

A Machine Learning Model Predicts the Outcome of SRS for Residual Arteriovenous malformations after partial embolization- A Real-World Clinical Obstacle. World Neurosurg 2022; 163:e73-e82. [PMID: 35276397 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To propose a machine learning (ML) model predicting the favorable outcome of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for residual brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) after partial embolization. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty bAVM patients who underwent partial embolization followed by SRS were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were randomly split into training datasets (n=100) and testing datasets (n=30). Radiomics and dosimetric features were extracted from pre-SRS treatment images. Feature selection was performed to select appropriate radiomics and dosimetric features. Three ML algorithms were applied to construct models using selected features respectively. A total of 9 models were trained to predict favorable outcomes (obliteration without complication) of bAVMs. The efficacy of these models was evaluated on the testing dataset using mean accuracy (ACC) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS The obliteration rate of this cohort was 70.77% (92/130) with a mean follow-up period of 43.8 (Range 12-108 months) months. Favorable outcomes were achieved in 89 (68.46%) patients. Four radiomics features and 7 dosimetric features were selected for ML model construction. The dosimetric SVM showed the best performance on the training dataset, with an ACC and AUC of 0.74 and 0.78 respectively. The dosimetric SVM model also showed the best performance on the testing dataset where the ACC and AUC were 0.83 and 0.77 respectively. CONCLUSION Dosimetric features are good predictors of prognosis for patients with partially embolized bAVM followed by SRS therapy. The use of ML models is an innovative method for predicting favorable outcomes of partially embolized bAVM followed by SRS therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the performance of a computed tomography based radiomics model in the preoperative prediction of resectability status and TNM staging in thymic epithelial tumors. METHODS We reviewed the last preoperative computed tomography scan of patients with thymic epithelial tumors prior to resection and pathology evaluation at our institution between February 2008 and June 2019. A total of 101 quantitative features were extracted and a radiomics model was trained using elastic net penalized logistic regressions for each aim. In the set-aside testing sets, discriminating performance of each model was assessed with area under receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Our final population consisted of 243 patients with: 153 (87%) thymomas, 23 (9%) thymic carcinomas, and 9 (4%) thymic carcinoids. Incomplete resections (R1 or R2) occurred in 38 (16%) patients, and 67 (28%) patients had more advanced stage tumors (stage III or IV). In the set-aside testing sets, the radiomics model achieved good performance in preoperatively predicting incomplete resections (area under receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.80) and advanced stage tumors (area under receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.70). CONCLUSIONS Our computed tomography radiomics model achieved good performance to predict resectability status and staging in thymic epithelial tumors, suggesting a potential value for the evaluation of radiomic features in the preoperative prediction of surgical outcomes in thymic malignancies.

Abstract
Preoperative MRI is one of the most important clinical results for the diagnosis and treatment of glioma patients. The objective of this study was to construct a stable and validatable preoperative T2-weighted MRI-based radiomics model for predicting the survival of gliomas. A total of 652 glioma patients across three independent cohorts were covered in this study including their preoperative T2-weighted MRI images, RNA-seq and clinical data. Radiomic features (1731) were extracted from preoperative T2-weighted MRI images of 167 gliomas (discovery cohort) collected from Beijing Tiantan Hospital and then used to develop a radiomics prediction model through a machine learning-based method. The performance of the radiomics prediction model was validated in two independent cohorts including 261 gliomas from the The Cancer Genomae Atlas database (external validation cohort) and 224 gliomas collected in the prospective study from Beijing Tiantan Hospital (prospective validation cohort). RNA-seq data of gliomas from discovery and external validation cohorts were applied to establish the relationship between biological function and the key radiomics features, which were further validated by single-cell sequencing and immunohistochemical staining. The 14 radiomic features-based prediction model was constructed from preoperative T2-weighted MRI images in the discovery cohort, and showed highly robust predictive power for overall survival of gliomas in external and prospective validation cohorts. The radiomic features in the prediction model were associated with immune response, especially tumour macrophage infiltration. The preoperative T2-weighted MRI radiomics prediction model can stably predict the survival of glioma patients and assist in preoperatively assessing the extent of macrophage infiltration in glioma tumours.

Abstract
Predicting brain invasion preoperatively should help to guide surgical decision-making and aid the prediction of meningioma grading and prognosis. However, only a few imaging features have been identified to aid prediction. This study aimed to develop and validate an MRI-based nomogram to predict brain invasion by meningioma. In this retrospective study, 658 patients were examined via routine MRI before undergoing surgery and were diagnosed with meningioma by histopathology. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regularization was used to determine the optimal combination of clinical characteristics and MRI features for predicting brain invasion by meningiomas. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to determine the discriminatory ability. Furthermore, a nomogram was constructed using the optimal MRI features, and decision curve analysis was used to validate the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. Eighty-one patients with brain invasion and 577 patients without invasion were enrolled. According to LASSO regularization, tumour shape, tumour boundary, peritumoral oedema, and maximum diameter were independent predictors of brain invasion. The model showed good discriminatory ability for predicting brain invasion in meningiomas, with an AUC of 0.905 (95% CI, 0.871-0.940) vs 0.898 (95% CI, 0.849-0.947) and sensitivity of 93.0% vs 92.6% in the training vs validation cohorts. Our predictive model based on MRI features showed good performance and high sensitivity for predicting the risk of brain invasion in meningiomas and can be applied in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Medical imaging provides a comprehensive perspective and rich information for disease diagnosis. Combined with artificial intelligence technology, medical imaging can be further mined for detailed pathological information. Many studies have shown that the macroscopic imaging characteristics of tumors are closely related to microscopic gene, protein and molecular changes. In order to explore the function of artificial intelligence algorithms in in-depth analysis of medical imaging information, this paper reviews the articles published in recent years from three perspectives: medical imaging analysis method, clinical applications and the development of medical imaging in the direction of pathological molecular prediction. We believe that AI-aided medical imaging analysis will be extensively contributing to precise and efficient clinical decision.

Abstract
Surgeons have considered extending the resection margins for better outcomes in gliomas, but have not considered molecular pathology. We investigated the impact of molecular pathology on the surgical benefit in gliomas. Herein, we collected the clinical and pathological information of 449 patients with glioma from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database, and enrolled those who underwent surgical resection. We measured the impact of the extent of resection on survival time in subgroups classified by clinical characteristics. We found that gross total resection (GTR) was associated with longer survival times in the entire cohort, and each of the three molecular subtypes. Even after age stratification, there was no survival benefit from GTR in those with a Karnofsky performance score (KPS) ≤ 80. In patients aged >45 years with a KPS >80, extensive resection resulted in longer survival times in isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutated astrocytomas. Additionally, GTR was associated with longer overall survival times in patients aged ≤45 years with a KPS >80. In conclusion, extensive resection does not always prolong survival in patients with glioma. Along with clinical characteristics, molecular pathology positively impacts survival in gliomas. Neurosurgeons may consider our findings when planning surgery in the future.

Abstract
Background Differentiation between cerebral glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and solitary brain metastasis (MET) is important. The existing radiomic differentiation method ignores the clinical and routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. Purpose To differentiate between GBM and MET and between METs from the lungs (MET-lung) and other sites (MET-other) through clinical and routine MRI, and radiomics analyses. Methods and Materials A total of 350 patients were collected from two institutions, including 182 patients with GBM and 168 patients with MET, which were all proven by pathology. The ROI of the tumor was obtained on axial postcontrast MRI which was performed before operation. Seven radiomic feature selection methods and four classification algorithms constituted 28 classifiers in two classification strategies, with the best classifier serving as the final radiomics model. The clinical and combination models were constructed using the nomograms developed. The performance of the nomograms was evaluated in terms of calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness. Student’s t-test or the chi-square test was used to assess the differences in the clinical and radiological characteristics between the training and internal validation cohorts. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the performance of developed models with the area under the curve (AUC). Results The classifier fisher_decision tree (fisher_DT) showed the best performance (AUC: 0.696, 95% CI:0.608-0.783) for distinguishing between GBM and MET in internal validation cohorts; the classifier reliefF_random forest (reliefF_RF) showed the best performance (AUC: 0.759, 95% CI: 0.613-0.904) for distinguishing between MET-lung and MET-other in internal validation cohorts. The combination models incorporating the radiomics signature and clinical-radiological characteristics were superior to the clinical-radiological models in the two classification strategies (AUC: 0.764 for differentiation between GBM in internal validation cohorts and MET and 0.759 or differentiation between MET-lung and MET-other in internal validation cohorts). The nomograms showed satisfactory performance and calibration and were considered clinically useful, as revealed in the decision curve analysis. Data Conclusion The combination of radiomic and non-radiomic features is helpful for the differentiation among GBM, MET-lung, and MET-other.

Abstract
Objective To identify optimal machine-learning methods for the radiomics-based differentiation of gliosarcoma (GSM) from glioblastoma (GBM). Materials and Methods This retrospective study analyzed cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of 83 patients with pathologically diagnosed GSM (58 men, 25 women; mean age, 50.5 ± 12.9 years; range, 16-77 years) and 100 patients with GBM (58 men, 42 women; mean age, 53.4 ± 14.1 years; range, 12-77 years) and divided them into a training and validation set randomly. Radiomics features were extracted from the tumor mass and peritumoral edema. Three feature selection and classification methods were evaluated in terms of their performance in distinguishing GSM and GBM: the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), Relief, and Random Forest (RF); and adaboost classifier (Ada), support vector machine (SVM), and RF; respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) of each method were analyzed. Results Based on tumor mass features, the selection method LASSO + classifier SVM was found to feature the highest AUC (0.85) and ACC (0.77) in the validation set, followed by Relief + RF (AUC = 0.84, ACC = 0.72) and LASSO + RF (AUC = 0.82, ACC = 0.75). Based on peritumoral edema features, Relief + SVM was found to have the highest AUC (0.78) and ACC (0.73) in the validation set. Regardless of the method, tumor mass features significantly outperformed peritumoral edema features in the differentiation of GSM from GBM (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the best radiomics model were superior to those obtained by the neuroradiologists. Conclusion Our radiomics study identified the selection method LASSO combined with the classifier SVM as the optimal method for differentiating GSM from GBM based on tumor mass features.

Abstract
Glioma, the most common primary brain tumor in adults, can be difficult to discern radiologically from other brain lesions, which affects surgical planning and follow-up treatment. Recent advances in MRI demonstrate that preoperative diagnosis of glioma has stepped into molecular and algorithm-assisted levels. Specifically, the histology-based glioma classification is composed of multiple different molecular subtypes with distinct behavior, prognosis, and response to therapy, and now each aspect can be assessed by corresponding emerging MR sequences like amide proton transfer-weighted MRI, inflow-based vascular-space-occupancy MRI, and radiomics algorithm. As a result of this novel progress, the clinical practice of glioma has been updated. Accurate diagnosis of glioma at the molecular level can be achieved ahead of the operation to formulate a thorough plan including surgery radical level, shortened length of stay, flexible follow-up plan, timely therapy response feedback, and eventually benefit patients individually.

Abstract
A novel radiological research field pursuing comprehensive quantitative image, namely “Radiomics,” gained traction along with the advancement of computational technology and artificial intelligence. This novel concept for analyzing medical images brought extensive interest to the neuro-oncology and neuroradiology research community to build a diagnostic workflow to detect clinically relevant genetic alteration of gliomas noninvasively. Although quite a few promising results were published regarding MRI-based diagnosis of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation in gliomas, it has become clear that an ample amount of effort is still needed to render this technology clinically applicable. At the same time, many significant insights were discovered through this research project, some of which could be “reverse engineered” to improve conventional non-radiomic MR image acquisition. In this review article, the authors aim to discuss the recent advancements and encountering issues of radiomics, how we can apply the knowledge provided by radiomics to standard clinical images, and further expected technological advances in the realm of radiomics and glioma.

Abstract
Existing quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) are associated with known biological tissue characteristics and follow a well-understood path of technical, biological and clinical validation before incorporation into clinical trials. In radiomics, novel data-driven processes extract numerous visually imperceptible statistical features from the imaging data with no a priori assumptions on their correlation with biological processes. The selection of relevant features (radiomic signature) and incorporation into clinical trials therefore requires additional considerations to ensure meaningful imaging endpoints. Also, the number of radiomic features tested means that power calculations would result in sample sizes impossible to achieve within clinical trials. This article examines how the process of standardising and validating data-driven imaging biomarkers differs from those based on biological associations. Radiomic signatures are best developed initially on datasets that represent diversity of acquisition protocols as well as diversity of disease and of normal findings, rather than within clinical trials with standardised and optimised protocols as this would risk the selection of radiomic features being linked to the imaging process rather than the pathology. Normalisation through discretisation and feature harmonisation are essential pre-processing steps. Biological correlation may be performed after the technical and clinical validity of a radiomic signature is established, but is not mandatory. Feature selection may be part of discovery within a radiomics-specific trial or represent exploratory endpoints within an established trial; a previously validated radiomic signature may even be used as a primary/secondary endpoint, particularly if associations are demonstrated with specific biological processes and pathways being targeted within clinical trials. KEY POINTS: • Data-driven processes like radiomics risk false discoveries due to high-dimensionality of the dataset compared to sample size, making adequate diversity of the data, cross-validation and external validation essential to mitigate the risks of spurious associations and overfitting. • Use of radiomic signatures within clinical trials requires multistep standardisation of image acquisition, image analysis and data mining processes. • Biological correlation may be established after clinical validation but is not mandatory.

Abstract
Purpose The present study aimed to preoperatively predict the status of 1p/19q based on radiomics analysis in patients with World Health Organization (WHO) grade II gliomas. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 157 patients with WHO grade II gliomas (76 patients with astrocytomas with mutant IDH, 16 patients with astrocytomas with wild-type IDH, and 65 patients with oligodendrogliomas with mutant IDH and 1p/19q codeletion). Radiomic features were extracted from magnetic resonance images, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast T1-weighted images. Elastic net and support vector machines with radial basis function kernel were applied in nested 10-fold cross-validation loops to predict the 1p/19q status. Receiver operating characteristic analysis and precision-recall analysis were used to evaluate the model performance. Student’s t-tests were then used to compare the posterior probabilities of 1p/19q co-deletion prediction in the group with different 1p/19q status. Results Six valuable radiomic features, along with age, were selected with the nested 10-fold cross-validation loops. Five features showed significant difference in patients with different 1p/19q status. The area under curve and accuracy of the predictive model were 0.8079 (95% confidence interval, 0.733–0.8755) and 0.758 (0.6879–0.8217), respectively, and the F1-score of the precision-recall curve achieved 0.6667 (0.5201–0.7705). The posterior probabilities in the 1p/19q co-deletion group were significantly different from the non-deletion group. Conclusion Combined radiomics analysis and machine learning showed potential clinical utility in the preoperative prediction of 1p/19q status, which can aid in making customized neurosurgery plans and glioma management strategies before postoperative pathology.

Abstract
Radiomics supposes an alternative non-invasive tumor characterization tool, which has experienced increased interest with the advent of more powerful computers and more sophisticated machine learning algorithms. Nonetheless, the incorporation of radiomics in cancer clinical-decision support systems still necessitates a thorough analysis of its relationship with tumor biology. Herein, we present a systematic review focusing on the clinical evidence of radiomics as a surrogate method for tumor molecular profile characterization. An extensive literature review was conducted in PubMed, including papers on radiomics and a selected set of clinically relevant and commonly used tumor molecular markers. We summarized our findings based on different cancer entities, additionally evaluating the effect of different modalities for the prediction of biomarkers at each tumor site. Results suggest the existence of an association between the studied biomarkers and radiomics from different modalities and different tumor sites, even though a larger number of multi-center studies are required to further validate the reported outcomes.

[PMID: 34073309 PMCID: PMC8198025 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13112606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Glioma prognosis and treatment are based on histopathological characteristics and molecular profile. Following the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines (2016), the most important molecular diagnostic markers include IDH1/2-genotype and 1p/19q codeletion status, although more recent publications also include ARTX genotype and TERT- and MGMT promoter methylation. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs), however, were described to successfully determine these molecular characteristics non-invasively by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to define the diagnostic accuracy of MLAs with regard to these different molecular markers. We found high accuracies of MLAs to predict each individual molecular marker, with IDH1/2-genotype being the most investigated and the most accurate. Radiogenomics could therefore be a promising tool for discriminating genetically determined gliomas in a non-invasive fashion. Although encouraging results are presented here, large-scale, prospective trials with external validation groups are warranted. Abstract Treatment planning and prognosis in glioma treatment are based on the classification into low- and high-grade oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma, which is mainly based on molecular characteristics (IDH1/2- and 1p/19q codeletion status). It would be of great value if this classification could be made reliably before surgery, without biopsy. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs) could play a role in achieving this by enabling glioma characterization on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data without invasive tissue sampling. The aim of this study is to provide a performance evaluation and meta-analysis of various MLAs for glioma characterization. Systematic literature search and meta-analysis were performed on the aggregated data, after which subgroup analyses for several target conditions were conducted. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42020191033. We identified 724 studies; 60 and 17 studies were eligible to be included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, respectively. Meta-analysis showed excellent accuracy for all subgroups, with the classification of 1p/19q codeletion status scoring significantly poorer than other subgroups (AUC: 0.748, p = 0.132). There was considerable heterogeneity among some of the included studies. Although promising results were found with regard to the ability of MLA-tools to be used for the non-invasive classification of gliomas, large-scale, prospective trials with external validation are warranted in the future.

[PMID: 34079753 PMCID: PMC8165316 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.632130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study assessed the preoperative prediction of TP53 status based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) radiomics extracted from two-dimensional (2D) and 3D images. Methods 57 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent preoperative MRI were included. The diagnosis and TP53 gene test were based on resections. Of the 57 patients included 37 mutated TP53 genes and the remaining 20 had wild-type TP53 genes. Two radiologists performed manual tumour segmentation on seven different MRI image acquisition sequences per patient, including multi-phase [pre-contrast, late arterial phase (ap), portal venous phase, and delayed phase] dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). PyRadiomics-package was used to generate 558 two-dimensional (2D) and 994 three-dimensional (3D) image features. Models were constructed by support vector machine (SVM) for differentiating TP53 status and DX score method were used for feature selection. The evaluation of the model performance included area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. Results The 3D ADC-ap-DWI-T2WI model with 11 selected features yielded the best performance for differentiating TP53 status, with accuracy = 0.91 and AUC = 0.96. The model showed the good calibration. The decision curve analysis indicated that the radiomics model had clinical utility. Conclusions A non-invasive and quantitative mpMRI-based radiomics model can accurately predict TP53 mutation status in pancreatic cancer patients and contribute to the precision treatment.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary intraparenchymal tumor of the brain and the 5-year survival rate of high-grade glioma is poor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for detecting, characterizing and monitoring brain tumors but definitive diagnosis still relies on surgical pathology. Machine learning has been applied to the analysis of MRI data in glioma research and has the potential to change clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. This systematic review synthesizes and analyzes the current state of machine learning applications to glioma MRI data and explores the use of machine learning for systematic review automation. Various datapoints were extracted from the 153 studies that met inclusion criteria and analyzed. Natural language processing (NLP) analysis involved keyword extraction, topic modeling and document classification. Machine learning has been applied to tumor grading and diagnosis, tumor segmentation, non-invasive genomic biomarker identification, detection of progression and patient survival prediction. Model performance was generally strong (AUC = 0.87 ± 0.09; sensitivity = 0.87 ± 0.10; specificity = 0.0.86 ± 0.10; precision = 0.88 ± 0.11). Convolutional neural network, support vector machine and random forest algorithms were top performers. Deep learning document classifiers yielded acceptable performance (mean 5-fold cross-validation AUC = 0.71). Machine learning tools and data resources were synthesized and summarized to facilitate future research. Machine learning has been widely applied to the processing of MRI data in glioma research and has demonstrated substantial utility. NLP and transfer learning resources enabled the successful development of a replicable method for automating the systematic review article screening process, which has potential for shortening the time from discovery to clinical application in medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage remains a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. We tried to establish accurate long-term outcome prediction models for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) using CT radiomics and machine learning. METHODS In a retrospective study of 270 patients with HICH between June 2013 and June 2018, CT images and patients' 6-month outcome based on the modified Rankin Scale were collected. Hematomas on CT images were selected as volumes of interests (VOIs), and 1,029 radiomics features of the VOIs were extracted. Based on correlations with patients' outcome, radiomics features underwent dimensionality reduction analyses. Then, the support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and XGBoost algorithms were applied with the screened features to establish prognostic prediction models of HICH. Accuracies of all models were compared. RESULTS Eighteen radiomics features were screened as prognosis-associated radiomics signature of HICH based on the variance threshold, SelectKBest, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression models. Patients were randomly allocated into training (n = 215) and validation (n = 55) sets. Accuracies of all 6 machine learning algorithms in the validation set exceeded 80%. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in the validation set were 93.3%, 92.5%, and 92.7% for the RF model and 92.3%, 88.1%, and 89.1% for the XGBoost model, respectively, which were the best two among all models. CONCLUSIONS Taking advantage of radiomics and machine learning, we established accurate prognostic prediction models of HICH. The RF model and XGBoost model returned the best accuracies.

Abstract
Imaging plays a key role in oncology, including the diagnosis and detection of cancer, determining clinical management, assessing treatment response, and complications of treatment or disease. The current use of clinical oncology is predominantly qualitative in nature with some relatively crude size-based measurements of tumours for assessment of disease progression or treatment response; however, it is increasingly understood that there may be significantly more information about oncological disease that can be obtained from imaging that is not currently utilized. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to harness quantitative techniques to improve oncological imaging. These may include improving the efficiency or accuracy of traditional roles of imaging such as diagnosis or detection. These may also include new roles for imaging such as risk-stratifying patients for different types of therapy or determining biological tumour subtypes. This review article outlines several major areas in oncological imaging where there may be opportunities for AI technology. These include (1) screening and detection of cancer, (2) diagnosis and risk stratification, (3) tumour segmentation, (4) precision oncology, and (5) predicting prognosis and assessing treatment response. This review will also address some of the potential barriers to AI research in oncological imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular characterization of glioma has implications for prognosis, treatment planning, and prediction of treatment response. Current histopathology is limited by intratumoral heterogeneity and variability in detection methods. Advances in computational techniques have led to interest in mining quantitative imaging features to noninvasively detect genetic mutations. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of machine learning (ML) models in molecular subtyping gliomas on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS A systematic search was performed following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines to identify studies up to April 1, 2020. Methodological quality of studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS)-2. Diagnostic performance estimates were obtained using a bivariate model and heterogeneity was explored using metaregression. RESULTS Forty-four original articles were included. The pooled sensitivity and specificity for predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation in training datasets were 0.88 (95% CI 0.83-0.91) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.79-0.91), respectively, and 0.83 to 0.85 in validation sets. Use of data augmentation and MRI sequence type were weakly associated with heterogeneity. Both O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation and 1p/19q codeletion could be predicted with a pooled sensitivity and specificity between 0.76 and 0.83 in training datasets. CONCLUSION ML application to preoperative MRI demonstrated promising results for predicting IDH mutation, MGMT methylation, and 1p/19q codeletion in glioma. Optimized ML models could lead to a noninvasive, objective tool that captures molecular information important for clinical decision making. Future studies should use multicenter data, external validation and investigate clinical feasibility of ML models.

Comput Biol Med 2021; 132:104320. [PMID: 33735760 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.104320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the field of glioma, transcriptome subtypes have been considered as an important diagnostic and prognostic biomarker that may help improve the treatment efficacy. However, existing identification methods of transcriptome subtypes are limited due to the relatively long detection period, the unattainability of tumor specimens via biopsy or surgery, and the fleeting nature of intralesional heterogeneity. In search of a superior model over previous ones, this study evaluated the efficiency of eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)-based radiomics model to classify transcriptome subtypes in glioblastoma patients. METHODS This retrospective study retrieved patients from TCGA-GBM and IvyGAP cohorts with pathologically diagnosed glioblastoma, and separated them into different transcriptome subtypes groups. GBM patients were then segmented into three different regions of MRI: enhancement of the tumor core (ET), non-enhancing portion of the tumor core (NET), and peritumoral edema (ED). We subsequently used handcrafted radiomics features (n = 704) from multimodality MRI and two-level feature selection techniques (Spearman correlation and F-score tests) in order to find the features that could be relevant. RESULTS After the feature selection approach, we identified 13 radiomics features that were the most meaningful ones that can be used to reach the optimal results. With these features, our XGBoost model reached the predictive accuracies of 70.9%, 73.3%, 88.4%, and 88.4% for classical, mesenchymal, neural, and proneural subtypes, respectively. Our model performance has been improved in comparison with the other models as well as previous works on the same dataset. CONCLUSION The use of XGBoost and two-level feature selection analysis (Spearman correlation and F-score) could be expected as a potential combination for classifying transcriptome subtypes with high performance and might raise public attention for further research on radiomics-based GBM models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify glioma radiomic features associated with proliferation-related Ki-67 antigen and cellular tumour antigen p53 levels, common immunohistochemical markers for differentiating benign from malignant tumours, and to generate radiomic prediction models. METHODS Patients with glioma, who were scanned before therapy using standard brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols on T1 and T2 weighted imaging, were included. For each patient, regions-of-interest (ROI) were drawn based on tumour and peritumoral areas (5/10/15/20 mm), and features were identified using feature calculations, and used to create and assess logistic regression models for Ki-67 and p53 levels. RESULTS A total of 92 patients were included. The best area under the curve (AUC) for the Ki-67 model was 0.773 for T2 weighted imaging in solid glioma (sensitivity, 0.818; specificity, 0.833), followed by a less reliable AUC of 0.773 (sensitivity, 0.727; specificity 0.667) in 20-mm peritumoral areas. The highest AUC for the p53 model was 0.709 (sensitivity, 1; specificity, 0.4) for T2 weighted imaging in 10-mm peritumoral areas. CONCLUSION Using T2-weighted imaging, the prediction model for Ki-67 level in solid glioma tissue was better than the p53 model. The 20-mm and 10-mm peritumoral areas in the Ki-67 and p53 model, respectively, showed predictive effects, suggesting value in further research into areas without conventional MRI features.

Abstract
Purpose Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are benign tumors, complete tumor resection is considered to be the optimal treatment. However, although histologically benign, the local invasiveness of CPs commonly contributes to incomplete resection and a poor prognosis. At present, some advocate less aggressive surgery combined with radiotherapy as a more reasonable and effective means of protecting hypothalamus function and preventing recurrence in patients with tight tumor adhesion to the hypothalamus. Hence, if a method can be developed to predict the invasiveness of CP preoperatively, it will help in the development of a more personalized surgical strategy. The aim of the study was to report a radiomics-clinical nomogram for the individualized preoperative prediction of the invasiveness of adamantinomatous CP (ACPs) before surgery. Methods In total, 1,874 radiomics features were extracted from whole tumors on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. A support vector machine trained a predictive model that was validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis on an independent test set. Moreover, a nomogram was constructed incorporating clinical characteristics and the radiomics signature for individual prediction. Results Eleven features associated with the invasiveness of ACPs were selected by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. These features yielded area under the curve (AUC) values of 79.09 and 73.5% for the training and test sets, respectively. The nomogram incorporating peritumoral edema and the radiomics signature yielded good calibration in the training and test sets with the AUCs of 84.79 and 76.48%, respectively. Conclusion The developed model yields good performance, indicating that the invasiveness of APCs can be predicted using noninvasive radiological data. This reliable, noninvasive tool can help clinical decision making and improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
The detection of mutations in telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (pTERT) is important since preoperative diagnosis of pTERT status helps with evaluating prognosis and determining the surgical strategy. Here, we aimed to establish a radiomics-based machine-learning algorithm and evaluated its performance with regard to the prediction of mutations in pTERT in patients with World Health Organization (WHO) grade II gliomas. In total, 164 patients with WHO grade II gliomas were enrolled in this retrospective study. We extracted a total of 1,293 radiomics features from multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging scans. Elastic net (used for feature selection) and support vector machine with linear kernel were applied in nested 10-fold cross-validation loops. The predictive model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic and precision-recall analyses. We performed an unpaired t-test to compare the posterior predictive probabilities among patients with differing pTERT statuses. We selected 12 valuable radiomics features using nested 10-fold cross-validation loops. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.8446 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.7735–0.9065) with an optimal summed value of sensitivity of 0.9355 (95% CI, 0.8802–0.9788) and specificity of 0.6197 (95% CI, 0.5071–0.7371). The overall accuracy was 0.7988 (95% CI, 0.7378–0.8598). The F1-score was 0.8406 (95% CI, 0.7684–0.902) with an optimal precision of 0.7632 (95% CI, 0.6818–0.8364) and recall of 0.9355 (95% CI, 0.8802–0.9788). Posterior probabilities of pTERT mutations were significantly different between patients with wild-type and mutant TERT promoters. Our findings suggest that a radiomics analysis with a machine-learning algorithm can be useful for predicting pTERT status in patients with WHO grade II glioma and may aid in glioma management.

Abstract
Background Based on conventional MRI images, it is difficult to differentiatepseudoprogression from true progressionin GBM patients after standard treatment, which isa critical issue associated with survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of machine learning using radiomics modelfrom T1-weighted contrast enhanced imaging(T1CE) in differentiating pseudoprogression from true progression after standard treatment for GBM. Methods Seventy-sevenGBM patients, including 51 with true progression and 26 with pseudoprogression,who underwent standard treatment and T1CE, were retrospectively enrolled.Clinical information, including sex, age, KPS score, resection extent, neurological deficit and mean radiation dose, were also recorded collected for each patient. The whole tumor enhancementwas manually drawn on the T1CE image, and a total of texture 9675 features were extracted and fed to a two-step feature selection scheme. A random forest (RF) classifier was trained to separate the patients by their outcomes.The diagnostic efficacies of the radiomics modeland radiologist assessment were further compared by using theaccuracy (ACC), sensitivity and specificity. Results No clinical features showed statistically significant differences between true progression and pseudoprogression.The radiomic classifier demonstrated ACC, sensitivity, and specificity of 72.78%(95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45,0.91), 78.36%(95%CI: 0.56,1.00) and 61.33%(95%CI: 0.20,0.82).The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of three radiologists’ assessment were66.23%(95% CI: 0.55,0.76), 61.50%(95% CI: 0.43,0.78) and 68.62%(95% CI: 0.55,0.80); 55.84%(95% CI: 0.45,0.66),69.25%(95% CI: 0.50,0.84) and 49.13%(95% CI: 0.36,0.62); 55.84%(95% CI: 0.45,0.66), 69.23%(95% CI: 0.50,0.84) and 47.06%(95% CI: 0.34,0.61), respectively. Conclusion T1CE–based radiomics showed better classification performance compared with radiologists’ assessment.The radiomics modelwas promising in differentiating pseudoprogression from true progression.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2021; 42:448-456. [PMID: 33509914 DOI: 10.3174/ajnr.a6983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type lower-grade gliomas (histologic grades II and III) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification or telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutation are reported to behave similar to glioblastoma. We aimed to evaluate whether MR imaging features could identify a subset of IDH wild-type lower-grade gliomas that carry molecular features of glioblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multi-institutional retrospective study, pathologically confirmed IDH wild-type lower-grade gliomas from 2 tertiary institutions and The Cancer Genome Atlas constituted the training set (institution 1 and The Cancer Genome Atlas, 64 patients) and the independent test set (institution 2, 57 patients). Preoperative MRIs were analyzed using the Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images and radiomics. The molecular glioblastoma status was determined on the basis of the presence of EGFR amplification and TERT promoter mutation. Molecular glioblastoma was present in 73.4% and 56.1% in the training and test sets, respectively. Models using clinical, Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images, and radiomic features were built to predict the molecular glioblastoma status in the training set; then they were validated in the test set. RESULTS In the test set, a model using both Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images and radiomic features showed superior predictive performance (area under the curve = 0.854) than that with only clinical features or Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images (areas under the curve = 0.514 and 0.648, respectively; P < . 001, both). When both Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images and radiomics were added to clinical features, the predictive performance significantly increased (areas under the curve = 0.514 versus 0.863, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS MR imaging features integrated with machine learning classifiers may predict a subset of IDH wild-type lower-grade gliomas that carry molecular features of glioblastoma.

Abstract
With the rapid development of new technologies, including artificial intelligence and genome sequencing, radiogenomics has emerged as a state-of-the-art science in the field of individualized medicine. Radiogenomics combines a large volume of quantitative data extracted from medical images with individual genomic phenotypes and constructs a prediction model through deep learning to stratify patients, guide therapeutic strategies, and evaluate clinical outcomes. Recent studies of various types of tumors demonstrate the predictive value of radiogenomics. And some of the issues in the radiogenomic analysis and the solutions from prior works are presented. Although the workflow criteria and international agreed guidelines for statistical methods need to be confirmed, radiogenomics represents a repeatable and cost-effective approach for the detection of continuous changes and is a promising surrogate for invasive interventions. Therefore, radiogenomics could facilitate computer-aided diagnosis, treatment, and prediction of the prognosis in patients with tumors in the routine clinical setting. Here, we summarize the integrated process of radiogenomics and introduce the crucial strategies and statistical algorithms involved in current studies.

Neuro Oncol 2021; 22:393-401. [PMID: 31563963 DOI: 10.1093/neuonc/noz184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional MRI cannot be used to identify H3 K27M mutation status. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of predicting H3 K27M mutation status by applying an automated machine learning (autoML) approach to the MR radiomics features of patients with midline gliomas. METHODS This single-institution retrospective study included 100 patients with midline gliomas, including 40 patients with H3 K27M mutations and 60 wild-type patients. Radiomics features were extracted from fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. Prior to autoML analysis, the dataset was randomly stratified into separate 75% training and 25% testing cohorts. The Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool (TPOT) was applied to optimize the machine learning pipeline and select important radiomics features. We compared the performance of 10 independent TPOT-generated models based on training and testing cohorts using the area under the curve (AUC) and average precision to obtain the final model. An independent cohort of 22 patients was used to validate the best model. RESULTS Ten prediction models were generated by TPOT, and the accuracy obtained with the best pipeline ranged from 0.788 to 0.867 for the training cohort and from 0.60 to 0.84 for the testing cohort. After comparison, the AUC value and average precision of the final model were 0.903 and 0.911 in the testing cohort, respectively. In the validation set, the AUC was 0.85, and the average precision was 0.855 for the best model. CONCLUSIONS The autoML classifier using radiomics features of conventional MR images provides high discriminatory accuracy in predicting the H3 K27M mutation status of midline glioma.

Improving prognostic performance in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using radiomics and deep learning features fusion in CT images. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1378.

Abstract
As an analytic pipeline for quantitative imaging feature extraction and analysis, radiomics has grown rapidly in the past decade. On the other hand, recent advances in deep learning and transfer learning have shown significant potential in the quantitative medical imaging field, raising the research question of whether deep transfer learning features have predictive information in addition to radiomics features. In this study, using CT images from Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients recruited in two independent hospitals, we discovered most transfer learning features have weak linear relationships with radiomics features, suggesting a potential complementary relationship between these two feature sets. We also tested the prognostic performance for overall survival using four feature fusion and reduction methods for combining radiomics and transfer learning features and compared the results with our proposed risk score-based feature fusion method. It was shown that the risk score-based feature fusion method significantly improves the prognosis performance for predicting overall survival in PDAC patients compared to other traditional feature reduction methods used in previous radiomics studies (40% increase in area under ROC curve (AUC) yielding AUC of 0.84).

Abstract
Imaging genomics refers to the establishment of the connection between invasive gene expression features and non-invasive imaging features. Tumor imaging genomics can not only understand the macroscopic phenotype of tumor, but also can deeply analyze the cellular and molecular characteristics of tumor tissue. In recent years, tumor imaging genomics has been a key in the field of medicine. The incidence of cancer in China has increased significantly, which is the main reason of disease death of urban residents. With the rapid development of imaging medicine, depending on imaging genomics, many experts have made remarkable achievements in tumor screening and diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, new treatment targets and understanding of tumor biological mechanism. This review analyzes the relationship between tumor radiology and gene expression, which provides a favorable direction for clinical staging, prognosis evaluation and accurate treatment of tumors.
