[PMID: 38861916 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2024.102122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study explored the predictors of upstaging and multiple sites of extension, and constructed a predictive model based on perioperative characteristics to calculate the risk of upstaging of cT1 renal cell carcinoma to pT3. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1012 patients diagnosed with cT1 renal cell carcinoma who underwent surgical treatment at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between June 2016 and August 2021. The continuous and categorical variables were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square test, respectively. After randomly dividing patients into a training set and an internal validation set with a ratio of 7:3, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the predictors of upstaging and multiple sites of extension. A nomogram model was established based on the predictors of upstaging and was validated. RESULTS Ninety-one cases (8.99%) of renal cell carcinoma were upstaged to pT3. In the training set, multivariate logistic regression identified the following predictors of upstaging: maximum tumor diameter, hilus involvement, tumor necrosis, tumor edge irregularity, symptoms, smoking, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio. A nomogram model was established based on the predictors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.810 in the training set, and 0.804 in the validation set. A 10-fold internal cross-validation conducted 200 times showed that the mean area under the curve was 0.797. The calibration curve and decision curve analysis suggested that the nomogram had robust clinical predictive power. Analyses showed higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and tumor necrosis were associated with multiple sites of extrarenal extension in patients with pT3a renal cell carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS We identified 7 predictors of upstaging to pT3 and 2 predictors of multiple sites of extension. A nomogram model was constructed with satisfactory accuracy for predicting upstaging to pT3.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate diagnosis and treatment of kidney tumors greatly benefit from automated solutions for detection and classification on MRI. In this study, we explore the application of a deep learning algorithm, YOLOv7, for detecting kidney tumors on contrast-enhanced MRI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We assessed the performance of YOLOv7 tumor detection on excretory phase MRIs in a large institutional cohort of patients with RCC. Tumors were segmented on MRI using ITK-SNAP and converted to bounding boxes. The cohort was randomly divided into ten benchmarks for training and testing the YOLOv7 algorithm. The model was evaluated using both 2-dimensional and a novel in-house developed 2.5-dimensional approach. Performance measures included F1, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Sensitivity, F1 curve, PPV-Sensitivity curve, Intersection over Union (IoU), and mean average PPV (mAP). RESULTS A total of 326 patients with 1034 tumors with 7 different pathologies were analyzed across ten benchmarks. The average 2D evaluation results were as follows: Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 0.69 ± 0.05, sensitivity of 0.39 ± 0.02, and F1 score of 0.43 ± 0.03. For the 2.5D evaluation, the average results included a PPV of 0.72 ± 0.06, sensitivity of 0.61 ± 0.06, and F1 score of 0.66 ± 0.04. The best model performance demonstrated a 2.5D PPV of 0.75, sensitivity of 0.69, and F1 score of 0.72. CONCLUSION Using computer vision for tumor identification is a cutting-edge and rapidly expanding subject. In this work, we showed that YOLOv7 can be utilized in the detection of kidney cancers.

Transl Androl Urol 2022; 11:1645-1654. [PMID: 36632158 PMCID: PMC9827394 DOI: 10.21037/tau-22-430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with clinical T1-2 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) upstaging to pathological T3 showed worse survival prognosis than those without upstaging. We aimed to develop and validate a morphology-based nephrometry scoring system for predicting pathological upstaging to T3 of RCC. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 200 patients with clinical T1-2 RCC who underwent surgical treatment. The nephrometry scores were measured through preoperative computed tomography images. The risk factors of pathological upstaging were identified by logistic regression models. The predictive accuracy of a novel morphology-based nephrometry scoring system (M-Index), was compared with R.E.N.A.L (radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness, anterior/posterior, location), PADUA (preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomic classification), DAP (diameter, axial, polar) and C-Index scores. Results The upstaging rate of the population was 17% (34 out of 200 patients). The upstaging and non-upstaging groups were comparable in terms of age, gender ratio, body mass index, tumor laterality, and pathological type, while the upstaging group tended to have large tumor diameter, irregular tumor morphology, inner tumor location, and short polar and axial distance. Large tumor diameter refers to larger than 5 cm, while irregular tumor morphology refers to not regular shapes such as round, oval, or lobular. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that tumor morphology [odds ratio (OR) 3.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.79-5.97] and tumor rim location (OR 2.95, 95% CI: 1.16-7.46) were independent risk factors for pathological upstaging. The receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated the novel M-Index based on tumor morphology and rim location outperformed R.E.N.A.L, PADUA, DAP, and C-Index in the prediction of pathological upstaging (area under curve 0.756 vs. 0.728 vs. 0.641 vs. 0.661 vs. 0.743). Conclusions Consisting of fewer non-complex parameters, the M-Index is an intuitive and practical tool with satisfactory predictive power for pathological upstaging to T3 in RCC patients undergoing surgery.

Pathological diagnostic nomograms for predicting malignant histology and unfavorable pathology in patients with endophytic renal tumor. Front Oncol 2022; 12:964048. [PMID: 36212405 PMCID: PMC9532530 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.964048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
PurposeTo develop and validate nomograms for pre-treatment prediction of malignant histology (MH) and unfavorable pathology (UP) in patients with endophytic renal tumors (ERTs).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical information of 3245 patients with ERTs accepted surgical treatment in our center. Eventually, 333 eligible patients were included and randomly enrolled into training and testing sets in a ratio of 7:3. We performed univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses to determine the independent risk factors of MH and UP in the training set and developed the pathological diagnostic models of MH and UP. The optimal model was used to construct a nomogram for MH and UP. The area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves (AUC), calibration curves and decision curve analyses (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive performance of models.ResultsOverall, 172 patients with MH and 50 patients with UP were enrolled in the training set; and 74 patients with MH and 21 patients with UP were enrolled in the validation set. Sex, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), R score, N score and R.E.N.A.L. score were the independent predictors of MH; and BMI, NLR, tumor size and R score were the independent predictors of UP. Single-variable and multiple-variable models were constructed based on these independent predictors. Among these predictive models, the malignant histology-risk nomogram consisted of sex, NLR, R score and N score and the unfavorable pathology-risk nomogram consisted of BMI, NLR and R score performed an optimal predictive performance, which reflected in the highest AUC (0.842 and 0.808, respectively), the favorable calibration curves and the best clinical net benefit. In addition, if demographic characteristics and laboratory tests were excluded from the nomograms, only the components of the R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score system were included to predict MH and UP, the AUC decreased to 0.781 and 0.660, respectively (P=0.001 and 0.013, respectively).ConclusionIn our study, the pathological diagnostic models for predicting malignant and aggressive histological features for patients with ERTs showed outstanding predictive performance and convenience. The use of the models can greatly assist urologists in individualizing the management of their patients.
