Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES
To preoperatively predict residual tumor (RT) in patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) via a radiomic-clinical nomogram.
METHODS
A total of 128 patients with advanced HGSOC were enrolled (training cohort: n=106; validation cohort: n=22). Serum cancer antigen-125 (CA125), serum human epididymis protein 4 (HE-4) level, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were obtained from the medical records. Metastases in abdomen and pelvis (MAP) of HGSOC patients was evaluated and scored based on preoperative abdominal and pelvic enhanced CT, MRI and/or PET-CT. A volume of interest (VOI) of each tumor was manually contoured along the boundary slice-by-slice. Radiomic features were extracted from the T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the independent predictors of RT status. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression was performed to select optimal features and construct radiomic models. A radiomic-clinical nomogram incorporating radiomic signature and clinical parameters was developed and evaluated in training and validation cohorts.
RESULTS
MAP score (p = 0.002), HE-4 level (p = 0.001) and NLR (p = 0.008) were independent predictors of RT status. The final radiomic-clinical nomogram showed satisfactory prediction performance in training (AUC = 0.936), cross validation (AUC = 0.906) and separate validation cohorts (AUC = 0.900), and fitted well in calibration curves (p > 0.05). Decision curve further confirmed the clinical application value of the nomogram.
CONCLUSION
The proposed MRI-based radiomic-clinical nomogram achieved excellent preoperative prediction of the RT status in HGSOC.
