ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2024; 50:520-527. [PMID: 38281886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2023.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the work described here was to develop and validate a predictive model for cytokeratin 7 (CK7) expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients by combining multimodal ultrasound diagnostic techniques. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 157 surgically confirmed ccRCC patients. All patients underwent pre-operative multimodal ultrasound diagnostic examinations, including B-mode ultrasound (US), color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The patients were randomly divided into a training group (103 cases) and a testing group (54 cases). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed in the training group to identify independent indicators associated with CK7 positivity. These indicators were included in the predictive model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves were used to evaluate the model's discriminative ability and accuracy. Decision curve analysis (DCA) and nomogram visualization were used to assess the clinical utility of the predictive model. RESULTS Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that US and CDFI observations were not correlated with CK7 expression and could not predict it. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.953, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.909-0.999), wash-in pattern (OR = 0.180, 95% CI: 0.063-0.513) and enhancement homogeneity (OR = 11.610, 95% CI: 1.394-96.675) as independent factors related to CK7 positivity in ccRCC. Incorporating these variables into the predictive model resulted in areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.812 (95% CI: 0.711-0.913) for the training group and 0.792 (95% CI: 0.667-0.924) for the testing group. The calibration curve and DCA revealed that the model had good accuracy and clinical utility of the model. CONCLUSION The combination of multimodal ultrasound diagnostic techniques in constructing a predictive model for CK7 expression in ccRCC patients has significant predictive value.

Abstract
There is a clinical need for accurate diagnosis and prognostication of kidney cancer using imaging. Radiomics and deep learning methods applied to imaging have shown promise in tasks such as tumor segmentation, classification, staging, and grading, as well as assessment of preoperative scores and correlation with tumor biomarkers. Artificial intelligence is also expected to play a significant role in advancing personalized medicine for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma.

Radiomics analysis based on single phase and different phase combinations of radiomics features from tri-phasic CT to distinguish renal oncocytoma from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024; 49:182-191. [PMID: 37907684 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-04053-2] [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: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate different radiomics models based on single phase and the different phase combinations of radiomics features from 3D tri-phasic CT to distinguish RO from chRCC. METHODS A total of 96 patients (30 RO and 66 chRCC) were enrolled in this study. Radiomics features were extracted from unenhanced phase (UP), corticomedullary phase (CMP), and nephrographic phase (NP) CT images. Feature selection was based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO) method. The selected features were used to develop different radiomics models using logistic regression (LR) analysis, including model 1 (UP), model 2(CMP), model 3(NP), model 4(UP+CMP), model 5(UP+NP), model 6(CMP+NP), and model 7(UP+CMP+NP). The radiomics model demonstrating the highest discrimination performance was utilized to construct the combined model (model 8) with clinical factors. A nomogram based on the model 8 was established. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the different models, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used. Delong's test was utilized to assess the statistical significance of the AUC improvement across the models. RESULTS Among the seven radiomics models, model 7 exhibited the highest AUC of 0.84 (95% CI 0.69, 0.99), and model 7 demonstrated a significantly superior AUC compared to the other radiomics models (all P < 0.05). The AUC values of radiomics models based on two phases (model4, mode5, mode6) were greater than the models based on single phase (model1, mode2, mode3) (all P < 0.05). Model 3 illustrated the best performance of the three radiomics models based on single phase with an AUC of 0.76 (95% CI 0.57, 099). Model 6 illustrated the best performance of the three radiomics models based on two-phases combination with an AUC of 0.83 (0.66, 0.99). Model 8 achieved an AUC of 0.93 (95% CI 0.83, 1.00) which is higher than those all radiomics models. CONCLUSION Radiomics models based on combination of radiomics features from UP, CMP, and NP can be a useful and promising technique to differentiate RO from chRCC. Moreover, the model combining clinical factors and radiomics features showed better classification performance to distinguish them.

Huynh LM, Hwang Y, Taylor O, Baine MJ. The Use of MRI-Derived Radiomic Models in Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification: A Critical Review of Contemporary Literature. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13061128. [PMID: 36980436 PMCID: PMC10047271 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13061128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The development of precise medical imaging has facilitated the establishment of radiomics, a computer-based method of quantitatively analyzing subvisual imaging characteristics. The present review summarizes the current literature on the use of diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived radiomics in prostate cancer (PCa) risk stratification. A stepwise literature search of publications from 2017 to 2022 was performed. Of 218 articles on MRI-derived prostate radiomics, 33 (15.1%) generated models for PCa risk stratification. Prediction of Gleason score (GS), adverse pathology, postsurgical recurrence, and postradiation failure were the primary endpoints in 15 (45.5%), 11 (33.3%), 4 (12.1%), and 3 (9.1%) studies. In predicting GS and adverse pathology, radiomic models differentiated well, with receiver operator characteristic area under the curve (ROC-AUC) values of 0.50–0.92 and 0.60–0.92, respectively. For studies predicting post-treatment recurrence or failure, ROC-AUC for radiomic models ranged from 0.73 to 0.99 in postsurgical and radiation cohorts. Finally, of the 33 studies, 7 (21.2%) included external validation. Overall, most investigations showed good to excellent prediction of GS and adverse pathology with MRI-derived radiomic features. Direct prediction of treatment outcomes, however, is an ongoing investigation. As these studies mature and reach potential for clinical integration, concerted effort to validate these radiomic models must be undertaken.
