Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiomics offers the potential to predict oncological outcomes from pre-operative imaging in order to identify 'high risk' patients at increased risk of recurrence. The application of radiomics in predicting disease recurrence provides tailoring of therapeutic strategies. We aim to comprehensively assess the existing literature regarding the current role of radiomics as a predictor of disease recurrence in gastric cancer. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. Inclusion criteria encompassed retrospective and prospective studies investigating the use of radiomics to predict post-operative recurrence in ovarian cancer. Study quality was assessed using the QUADAS-2 and Radiomics Quality Score tools. RESULTS Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 6,662 participants. Radiomic-based nomograms demonstrated consistent performance in predicting disease recurrence, as evidenced by satisfactory area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values (AUC range 0.72 - 1). The pooled AUCs calculated using the inverse-variance method for both the training and validation datasets were 0.819 and 0.789 respectively CONCLUSION: Our review provides good evidence supporting the role of radiomics as a predictor of post-operative disease recurrence in gastric cancer. Included studies noted good performance in predicting their primary outcome. Radiomics may enhance personalised medicine by tailoring treatment decision based on predicted prognosis.

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Pathological Responses and Prognosis After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Study. Clin Lung Cancer 2024; 25:468-478.e3. [PMID: 38719649 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2024.04.006] [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: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has variable efficacy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet reliable noninvasive predictive markers are lacking. This study aimed to develop a radiomics model predicting pathological complete response and postneoadjuvant chemotherapy survival in NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective data collection involved 130 patients with NSCLC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. Patients were randomly divided into training and independent testing sets. Nine radiomics features from prechemotherapy computed tomography (CT) images were extracted from intratumoral and peritumoral regions. An auto-encoder model was constructed, and its performance was evaluated. X-tile software classified patients into high and low-risk groups based on their predicted probabilities. survival of patients in different risk groups and the role of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were examined. RESULTS The model demonstrated area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.874 (training set) and 0.876 (testing set). The larger the area under curve (AUC), the better the model performance. Calibration curve and decision curve analysis indicated excellent model calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P = .763, the higher the P-value, the better the model fit) and potential clinical applicability. Survival analysis revealed significant differences in overall survival (P = .011) and disease-free survival (P = .017) between different risk groups. Adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved survival in the low-risk group (P = .041) but not high-risk group (P = 0.56). CONCLUSION This study represents the first successful prediction of pathological complete response achievement after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for NSCLC, as well as the patients' survival, utilizing intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics features.

Abstract
Radiomics is a promising and fast-developing field within oncology that involves the mining of quantitative high-dimensional data from medical images. Radiomics has the potential to transform cancer management, whereby radiomics data can be used to aid early tumor characterization, prognosis, risk stratification, treatment planning, treatment response assessment, and surveillance. Nevertheless, certain challenges have delayed the clinical adoption and acceptability of radiomics in routine clinical practice. The objectives of this report are to (a) provide a perspective on the translational potential and potential impact of radiomics in oncology; (b) explore frequent challenges and mistakes in its derivation, encompassing study design, technical requirements, standardization, model reproducibility, transparency, data sharing, privacy concerns, quality control, as well as the complexity of multistep processes resulting in less radiologist-friendly interfaces; (c) discuss strategies to overcome these challenges and mistakes; and (d) propose measures to increase the clinical use and acceptability of radiomics, taking into account the different perspectives of patients, health care workers, and health care systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To integrate radiomics and dosiomics features from multiple regions in the radiation pneumonia (RP grade ≥ 2) prediction for esophageal cancer (EC) patients underwent radiotherapy (RT). METHODS Total of 143 EC patients in the authors' hospital (training and internal validation: 70%:30%) and 32 EC patients from another hospital (external validation) underwent RT from 2015 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Patients were dichotomized as positive (RP+) or negative (RP-) according to CTCAE V5.0. Models with radiomics and dosiomics features extracted from single region of interest (ROI), multiple ROIs and combined models were constructed and evaluated. A nomogram integrating radiomics score (Rad_score), dosiomics score (Dos_score), clinical factors, dose-volume histogram (DVH) factors, and mean lung dose (MLD) was also constructed and validated. RESULTS Models with Rad_score_Lung&Overlap and Dos_score_Lung&Overlap achieved a better area under curve (AUC) of 0.818 and 0.844 in the external validation in comparison with radiomics and dosiomics models with features extracted from single ROI. Combining four radiomics and dosiomics models using support vector machine (SVM) improved the AUC to 0.854 in the external validation. Nomogram integrating Rad_score, and Dos_score with clinical factors, DVH factors, and MLD further improved the RP prediction AUC to 0.937 and 0.912 in the internal and external validation, respectively. CONCLUSION CT-based RP prediction model integrating radiomics and dosiomics features from multiple ROIs outperformed those with features from a single ROI with increased reliability for EC patients who underwent RT.

[PMID: 38663124 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111479] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To construct and validate CT radiomics model based on the peritumoral adipose region of gastric adenocarcinoma to preoperatively predict lymph node metastasis (LNM). METHODS AND METHODS 293 consecutive gastric adenocarcinoma patients receiving radical gastrectomy with lymph node dissection in two medical institutions were stratified into a development set (from Institution A, n = 237), and an external validation set (from Institution B, n = 56). Volume of interest of peritumoral adipose region was segmented on preoperative portal-phase CT images. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method and stepwise logistic regression were used to select features and build radiomics models. Manual classification was performed according to routine CT characteristics. A classifier incorporating the radiomics score and CT characteristics was developed for predicting LNM. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to show discrimination between tumors with and without LNM, and the calibration curves and Brier score were used to evaluate the predictive accuracy. Violin plots were used to show the distribution of radiomics score. RESULTS AUC values of radiomics model to predict LNM were 0.938, 0.905, and 0.872 in the training, internal test, and external validation sets, respectively, higher than that of manual classification (0.674, all P values < 0.01). The radiomics score of the positive LNM group were higher than that of the negative group in all sets (both P-values < 0.001). The classifier showed no improved predictive power compared with the radiomics signature alone with AUC values of 0.916 and 0.872 in the development and external validation sets, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that radiomics score was an independent predictor. CONCLUSIONS Radiomics model based on peritumoral adipose region could be a useful approach for preoperative LNM prediction in gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to perform risk stratification of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) for treatment de-escalation based on the radiomics analysis and human papillomavirus (HPV) status. METHODS A total of 265 patients with OPC who underwent baseline contrast-enhanced computed tomography were analyzed, and the patients were grouped into the training (n = 133) and test (n = 132) cohorts at a ratio of 1:1. Intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics features were extracted, and the radiomics signature (Rscore) was calculated using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO) and Cox regression analyses. RESULTS Twelve features were selected to establish the radiomics signature (Rscore) of intratumoral regions +10-mm peritumoral regions, which yielded maximum AUCs of 0.835, 0.798, and 0.784 in the training, test, and validation cohorts, respectively. Patients with OPC were divided into the high-risk group, intermediate-risk group, and low-risk group based on the Rscore and HPV status and had different prognoses. Patients in the low-risk group benefit from radiotherapy alone, and patients in the intermediate-risk group only benefitted from chemoradiotherapy. CONCLUSION The radiomics signature appears to improve the predictive performance of clinical characteristics for oropharyngeal cancer. The combined stratification of the radiomics signature and HPV status might be preferred to select patients for de-escalated treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to develop and externally validate a nomogram to accurately predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent radical gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 3492 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent radical gastrectomy from 2012 to 2017 were included as the training cohort. Survival analysis was performed via Kaplan Meier method and log-rank test. Independent postoperative prognostic factors in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were analyzed using univariate and multifactorial COX analysis methods. The prognosis nomogram was established in the training cohort and verified externally in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. RESULTS According to the univariate and multifactorial COX analyses, metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) and five other independent prognostic factors (age at surgery, type of gastrectomy, tumor size, T stage, and pathological grade) were included in the prognostic nomogram. The nomogram had better prognostic predictive ability than the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging in both the training (C-index: 0.736 VS. 0.668) and external validation cohort (C-index: 0.712 VS. 0.627). The calibration plots showed that the predicted survival rate was in good agreement with the actual survival rate. And the decision curve analysis (DCA) curves revealed that nomogram showed stronger ability in predicting 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS. CONCLUSION This study estimated the excellent prognostic predictive power and clinical application potential of the MLNR-based nomogram, which may be used to facilitate postoperative clinical treatment decisions and potentially improve patient survival outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is usually considered an incurable factor of gastric cancer (GC) and not fit for surgery. The aim of this study is to develop and validate an 18 F-FDG PET/CT-derived radiomics model combining with clinical risk factors for predicting PM of GC. METHOD In this retrospective study, 410 GC patients (PM - = 281, PM + = 129) who underwent preoperative 18 F-FDG PET/CT images from January 2015 to October 2021 were analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 288) and a validation cohort (n = 122). The maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (mRMR) and the least shrinkage and selection operator method were applied to select feature. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was preformed to develop the predicting model. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. RESULT Fourteen radiomics feature parameters were selected to construct radiomics model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the radiomics model were 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81-0.90] in the training cohort and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.78-0.92) in the validation cohort. After multivariable logistic regression, peritoneal effusion, mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and radiomics signature showed statistically significant differences between different PM status patients( P < 0.05). They were chosen to construct the comprehensive predicting model which showed a performance with an AUC of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.89-0.95) in the training cohort and 0.92 (95% CI, 0.86-0.98) in the validation cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION The nomogram based on 18 F-FDG PET/CT radiomics features and clinical risk factors can be potentially applied in individualized treatment strategy-making for GC patients before the surgery.

Abstract
The core idea behind precision medicine is to pinpoint the subpopulations that differ from one another in terms of disease risk, drug responsiveness, and treatment outcomes due to differences in biology and other traits. Biomarkers are found through genomic sequencing. Multi-dimensional clinical and biological data are created using these biomarkers. Better analytic methods are needed for these multidimensional data, which can be accomplished by using artificial intelligence (AI). An updated review of 80 latest original publications is presented on four main fronts-preventive medicine, medication development, treatment outcomes, and diagnostic medicine-All these studies effectively illustrated the significance of AI in precision medicine. Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized precision medicine by swiftly analyzing vast amounts of data to provide tailored treatments and predictive diagnostics. Through machine learning algorithms and high-resolution imaging, AI assists in precise diagnoses and early disease detection. AI's ability to decode complex biological factors aids in identifying novel therapeutic targets, allowing personalized interventions and optimizing treatment outcomes. Furthermore, AI accelerates drug discovery by navigating chemical structures and predicting drug-target interactions, expediting the development of life-saving medications. With its unrivaled capacity to comprehend and interpret data, AI stands as an invaluable tool in the pursuit of enhanced patient care and improved health outcomes. It's evident that AI can open a new horizon for precision medicine by translating complex data into actionable information. To get better results in this regard and to fully exploit the great potential of AI, further research is required on this pressing subject.

Ren XC, Liang P. Analysis of influencing factors of nerve invasion in locally advanced gastric cancer. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2023; 48:3005-3011. [PMID: 37289214 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-03970-6] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accurate preoperative diagnosis of locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) with nerve invasion is very important for guiding the clinical formulation of a reasonable treatment plan, improving treatment efficacy, and improving prognosis. The present study sought to analyze and evaluate the clinicopathological features of locally advanced GC, and to explore the risk factors associated with the state of nerve invasion. METHODS The clinicopathological data of 296 patients with locally advanced GC were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from July 2011 to December 2020 who underwent radical gastrectomy. PNI is defined as a tumor close to the nerve and involving at least 33% of its circumference or tumor cells within any of the 3 layers of the nerve sheath. The patient's age, gender, tumor location, T stage, N stage, TNM stage, degree of differentiation, Lauren classification, microvascular invasion, as well as TAP, AFP, CEA, CA125, CA199, CA724, CA153, tumor thickness, longest diameter, and plain CT value, arterial phase CT value, venous phase CT value, arterial phase enhancement rate, venous phase enhancement rate were assessed. RESULTS A total of 296 patients with locally advanced GC were included, and 226 (76.35%) were positive for nerve invasion. Univariate analysis showed that tumor T stage, N stage, TNM stage, Lauren classification, tumor thickness, and longest diameter were related to the state of nerve invasion (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor TNM stage was an independent risk factor for nerve invasion (OR 0.393, 95%CI 0.165-0.939, P = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS Tumor TNM stage is an independent risk factor for nerve invasion (+) in patients with locally advanced GC. Patients at high risk of nerve invasion should be followed closely and, if necessary, performed pathological examinations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of a radiomics model based on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) venous-phase iodine map (IM) and 120 kVp equivalent mixed images (MIX) in predicting the Lauren classification of gastric cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 240 patients undergoing preoperative DECT and postoperative pathologically confirmed gastric cancer was done. Training sets (n = 168) and testing sets (n = 72) were randomly assigned with a ratio of 7:3. Patients are divided into intestinal and non-intestinal groups. Traditional features were analyzed by two radiologists, using logistic regression to determine independent predictors for building clinical models. Using the Radiomics software, radiomics features were extracted from the IM and MIX images. ICC and Boruta algorithm were used for dimensionality reduction, and a random forest algorithm was applied to construct the radiomics model. ROC and DCA were used to evaluate the model performance. RESULTS Gender and maximum tumor thickness were independent predictors of Lauren classification and were used to build a clinical model. Separately establish IM-radiomics (R-IM), mixed radiomics (R-MIX), and combined IM + MIX image radiomics (R-COMB) models. In the training set, each radiomics model performed better than the clinical model, and the R-COMB model showed the best prediction performance (AUC: 0.855). In the testing set also, the R-COMB model had better prediction performance than the clinical model (AUC: 0.802). CONCLUSION The R-COMB radiomics model based on DECT-IM and 120 kVp equivalent MIX images can effectively be used for preoperative noninvasive prediction of the Lauren classification of gastric cancer. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The radiomics model based on dual-energy CT can be used for Lauren classification prediction of preoperative gastric cancer and help clinicians formulate individualized treatment plans and assess prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a noninvasive radiomics-based nomogram for identification of disagreement in pathology between endoscopic biopsy and postoperative specimens in gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This observational study recruited 181 GC patients who underwent pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) and divided them into a training set (n = 112, single-energy CT, SECT), a test set (n = 29, single-energy CT, SECT) and a validation cohort (n = 40, dual-energy CT, DECT). Radiomics signatures (RS) based on five machine learning algorithms were constructed from the venous-phase CT images. AUC and DeLong test were used to evaluate and compare the performance of the RS. We assessed the dual-energy generalization ability of the best RS. An individualized nomogram combined the best RS and clinical variables was developed, and its discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were determined. RESULTS RS obtained with support vector machine (SVM) showed promising predictive capability with AUC of 0.91 and 0.83 in the training and test sets, respectively. The AUC of the best RS in the DECT validation cohort (AUC, 0.71) was significantly lower than that of the training set (Delong test, p = 0.035). The clinical-radiomic nomogram accurately predicted pathologic disagreement in the training and test sets, fitting well in the calibration curves. Decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. CONCLUSION CT-based radiomics nomogram showed potential as a clinical aid for predicting pathologic disagreement status between biopsy samples and resected specimens in GC. When practicability and stability are considered, the SECT-based radiomics model is not recommended for DECT generalization. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Radiomics can identify disagreement in pathology between endoscopic biopsy and postoperative specimen.

Abstract
Background: We explored whether a model based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography radiomics features and clinicopathological factors can evaluate preoperative lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in patients with gastric cancer (GC) with Lauren classification. Methods: Based on clinical and radiomic characteristics, we established three models: Clinical + Arterial phase_Radcore, Clinical + Venous phase_Radcore and a combined model. The relationship between Lauren classification and LVI was analyzed using a histogram. Results: We retrospectively analyzed 495 patients with GC. The areas under the curve of the combined model were 0.8629 and 0.8343 in the training and testing datasets, respectively. The combined model showed a superior performance to the other models. Conclusion: CECT-based radiomics models can effectively predict preoperative LVI in GC patients with Lauren classification.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. Although some progress has been made in chemotherapy and surgery, it is still one of the highest mortalities in the world. Therefore, early detection, diagnosis and treatment are very important to improve the prognosis of patients. In recent years, with the proposal of the concept of radiomics, it has been gradually applied to histopathological grading, differential diagnosis, therapeutic efficacy and prognosis evaluation of gastric cancer, whose advantage is to comprehensively quantify the tumor phenotype using a large number of quantitative image features, so as to predict and diagnose the lesion area of gastric cancer early. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the research status and progress of radiomics in gastric cancer, and reviewed the workflow and clinical application of radiomics. The 27 original studies on the application of radiomics in gastric cancer were included from web of science database search results from 2017 to 2021, the number of patients included ranged from 30 to 1680, and the models used were based on the combination of radiomics signature and clinical factors. Most of these studies showed positive results, the median radiomics quality score (RQS) for all studies was 36.1%, and the development prospect and challenges of radiomics development were prospected. In general, radiomics has great potential in improving the early prediction and diagnosis of gastric cancer, and provides an unprecedented opportunity for clinical practice to improve the decision support of gastric cancer treatment at a low cost.

Abstract
Importance Digestive system neoplasms (DSNs) are the leading cause of cancer-related mortality with a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Subjective evaluation of medical images including endoscopic images, whole slide images, computed tomography images, and magnetic resonance images plays a vital role in the clinical practice of DSNs, but with limited performance and increased workload of radiologists or pathologists. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical image analysis holds promise to augment the visual interpretation of medical images, which could not only automate the complicated evaluation process but also convert medical images into quantitative imaging features that associated with tumor heterogeneity. Highlights We briefly introduce the methodology of AI for medical image analysis and then review its clinical applications including clinical auxiliary diagnosis, assessment of treatment response, and prognosis prediction on 4 typical DSNs including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion AI technology has great potential in supporting the clinical diagnosis and treatment decision-making of DSNs. Several technical issues should be overcome before its application into clinical practice of DSNs.

Abstract
Introduction To explore the prognostic value of CT-based delta radiomics in predicting the prognosis of patients with stage IV gastric cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Materials and methods Forty-two patients with stage IV gastric cancer, who had received ICI monotherapy, were enrolled in this retrospective study. Baseline and first follow-up CT scans were analyzed. Intratumoral and peritumoral regions of interest (ROI) were contoured, enabling the extraction of 192 features from each ROI. The intraclass correlation coefficients were used to select features with high stability. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to select features with high weights for predicting patient prognosis. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were performed to explore the association between features and progression free survival (PFS). Cox regression analyses were used to identify predictors for PFS. The C-index was used to assess the prediction performance of features. Results Two radiomics features of ΔVintra_ZV and postVperi_Sphericity were identified from intratumoral and peritumoral regions, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significant differences in PFS between patients with low and high feature value (ΔVintra_ZV: P=0.000; postVperi_Sphericity: P=0.012), and the multivariable cox analysis demonstrated that ΔVintra_ZV was independent predictor for PFS (HR, 1.911; 95% CI: 1.163-3.142; P=0.011), with C-index of 0.705. Conclusions Based on CT scans at baseline and first follow-up, the delta radiomics features could efficiently predict the PFS of gastric cancer patients treated with ICI therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to construct a computed tomography (CT) radiomics model to predict programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in gastric adenocarcinoma patients using radiomics features. METHODS A total of 169 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were studied retrospectively and randomly divided into training and testing datasets. The clinical data of the patients were recorded. Radiomics features were extracted to construct a radiomics model. The random forest-based Boruta algorithm was used to screen the features of the training dataset. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. RESULTS Four radiomics features were selected to construct a radiomics model. The radiomics signature showed good efficacy in predicting PD-L1 expression, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.786 (p < 0.001), a sensitivity of 0.681, and a specificity of 0.826. The radiomics model achieved the greatest areas under the curve (AUCs) in the training dataset (AUC = 0.786) and testing dataset (AUC = 0.774). The calibration curves of the radiomics model showed great calibration performances outcomes in the training dataset and testing dataset. The net clinical benefit for the radiomics model was high. CONCLUSION CT radiomics has important value in predicting the expression of PD-L1 in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) has high morbidity and mortality as one of the main causes of cancer death. Preoperative risk stratification is critical to guide patient management, but traditional imaging studies have difficulty predicting its biological behavior. The emerging field of radiomics allows the conversion of potential pathophysiological information in existing medical images that cannot be visually recognized into high-dimensional quantitative image features. Tumor lesion characterization, therapeutic response evaluation, and survival prediction can be achieved by analyzing the relationships between these features and clinical and genetic data. In recent years, the clinical application of radiomics to GIC has increased dramatically. In this editorial, we describe the latest progress in the application of radiomics to GIC and discuss the value of its potential clinical applications, as well as its limitations and future directions.

Jpn J Radiol 2022; 41:401-408. [PMID: 36370327 DOI: 10.1007/s11604-022-01360-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a combined radiomics nomogram based on computed tomography (CT) images and clinical features to preoperatively distinguish Lauren's diffuse-type gastric cancer (GC) from intestinal-type GC. METHODS Ninety-five patients with Lauren's intestinal or diffuse-type GC confirmed by postoperative pathology had their preoperative clinical information and dynamic contrast CT images retrospectively analyzed and were subdivided into training and test groups in a 7:3 ratio. To select the optimal features and construct the radiomic signatures, we extracted, filtered, and minimized the radiomic features from arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP) CT images. We constructed four models (clinical model, AP radiomics model, VP radiomics model, and radiomics-clinical model) to assess and compare their predictive performance between the intestinal- and diffuse-type GC. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under the ROC curve (AUC), and the DeLong test were used for assessment and comparison. In this study, radiomic nomograms integrating combined radiomic signatures and clinical characteristics were developed. RESULTS Compared to the AP radiomics model, the VP radiomics model had better performance, with an AUC of 0.832 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.735, 0.929) in the training cohort and 0.760 (95% CI 0.580, 0.940) in the test cohort. Among the combined models that assessed Lauren's type GC, the model including age and VP radiomics showed the best performance, with an AUC of 0.849 (95% CI 0.758, 0.940) in the training cohort and 0.793 (95% CI 0.629, 0.957) in the test cohort. CONCLUSIONS Nomogram incorporating radiomic signatures and clinical features effectively differentiated Lauren's diffuse-type from intestinal-type GC.

Abstract
BackgroundDNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency has attracted considerable attention as a predictor of the immunotherapy efficacy of solid tumors, including gastric cancer. We aimed to develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomic nomogram for the preoperative prediction of MMR deficiency in gastric cancer (GC).MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, 225 and 91 GC patients from two distinct hospital cohorts were included. Cohort 1 was randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 176) and an internal validation cohort (n = 76), whereas cohort 2 was considered an external validation cohort. Based on repeatable radiomic features, a radiomic signature was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. We employed multivariable logistic regression analysis to build a radiomics-based model based on radiomic features and preoperative clinical characteristics. Furthermore, this prediction model was presented as a radiomic nomogram, which was evaluated in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts.ResultsThe radiomic signature composed of 15 robust features showed a significant association with MMR protein status in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts (both P-values <0.001). A radiomic nomogram incorporating a radiomic signature and two clinical characteristics (age and CT-reported N stage) represented good discrimination in the training cohort with an AUC of 0.902 (95% CI: 0.853–0.951), in the internal validation cohort with an AUC of 0.972 (95% CI: 0.945–1.000) and in the external validation cohort with an AUC of 0.891 (95% CI: 0.825–0.958).ConclusionThe CT-based radiomic nomogram showed good performance for preoperative prediction of MMR protein status in GC. Furthermore, this model was a noninvasive tool to predict MMR protein status and guide neoadjuvant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diffuse-type gastric cancer (GC), especially signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), has shown an upward trend in the past decades. This study aimed to develop computed tomography (CT) based radiomics nomograms to distinguish diffuse-type and SRCC GC preoperatively. METHODS A total of 693 GC patients from two centers were retrospectively analyzed and divided into training, internal validation and external validation cohorts. Radiomics features were extracted from CT images, and the Lauren radiomics model was established with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to identify diffuse-type GC. The Lauren radiomics nomogram integrating radiomics features score (Rad-score) and clinicopathological characteristics were developed and evaluated regarding prediction ability. Further, the SRCC radiomics nomogram designed to identify SRCC from diffuse-type GC was developed and evaluated following the same procedures. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed that Rad-scores was significantly associated with diffuse-type GC and SRCC (p < 0.001). The Lauren radiomics nomogram showed promising prediction performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.895 (95%CI, 0.957-0.932), 0.841 (95%CI, 0.781-0.901) and 0.893 (95%CI, 0.831-0.955) in each cohort. The SRCC radiomics nomogram also showed good discrimination, with AUC of 0.905 (95%CI,0.866-0.944), 0.845 (95%CI, 0.775-0.915) and 0.918 (95%CI, 0.842-0.994) in each cohort. The radiomics nomograms showed great model fitness and clinical usefulness by calibration curve and decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION Our CT-based radiomics nomograms had the ability to identify the diffuse-type and SRCC GC, providing a non-invasive, efficient and preoperative diagnosis method. They may help guide preoperative clinical decision-making and benefit GC patients in the future.

Machine learning principles applied to CT radiomics to predict mucinous pancreatic cysts. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2022; 47:221-231. [PMID: 34636933 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03289-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Current diagnostic and treatment modalities for pancreatic cysts (PCs) are invasive and are associated with patient morbidity. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate machine learning algorithms to delineate mucinous from non-mucinous PCs using non-invasive CT-based radiomics. METHODS A retrospective, single-institution analysis of patients with non-pseudocystic PCs, contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans within 1 year of resection, and available surgical pathology were included. A quantitative imaging software platform was used to extract radiomics. An extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) machine learning algorithm was used to create mucinous classifiers using texture features only, or radiomic/radiologic and clinical combined models. Classifiers were compared using performance scoring metrics. Shapely additive explanation (SHAP) analyses were conducted to identify variables most important in model construction. RESULTS Overall, 99 patients and 103 PCs were included in the analyses. Eighty (78%) patients had mucinous PCs on surgical pathology. Using multiple fivefold cross validations, the texture features only and combined XGBoost mucinous classifiers demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.72 ± 0.14 and 0.73 ± 0.14, respectively. By SHAP analysis, root mean square, mean attenuation, and kurtosis were the most predictive features in the texture features only model. Root mean square, cyst location, and mean attenuation were the most predictive features in the combined model. CONCLUSION Machine learning principles can be applied to PC texture features to create a mucinous phenotype classifier. Model performance did not improve with the combined model. However, specific radiomic, radiologic, and clinical features most predictive in our models can be identified using SHAP analysis.

Abstract
Purpose To develop a bounding box (BBOX)-based radiomics model for the preoperative diagnosis of occult peritoneal metastasis (OPM) in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients. Materials and Methods 599 AGC patients from 3 centers were retrospectively enrolled and were divided into training, validation, and testing cohorts. The minimum circumscribed rectangle of the ROIs for the largest tumor area (R_BBOX), the nonoverlapping area between the tumor and R_BBOX (peritumoral area; PERI) and the smallest rectangle that could completely contain the tumor determined by a radiologist (M_BBOX) were used as inputs to extract radiomic features. Multivariate logistic regression was used to construct a radiomics model to estimate the preoperative probability of OPM in AGC patients. Results The M_BBOX model was not significantly different from R_BBOX in the validation cohort [AUC: M_BBOX model 0.871 (95% CI, 0.814–0.940) vs. R_BBOX model 0.873 (95% CI, 0.820–0.940); p = 0.937]. M_BBOX was selected as the final radiomics model because of its extremely low annotation cost and superior OPM discrimination performance (sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 82.8%) over the clinical model, and this radiomics model showed comparable diagnostic efficacy in the testing cohort. Conclusions The BBOX-based radiomics could serve as a simpler reliable and powerful tool for the preoperative diagnosis of OPM in AGC patients. And M_BBOX-based radiomics is simpler and less time consuming.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland is a rare, well-differentiated gastric cancer entity, and very few patients transition to poorly differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma during progression. Gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland originates from the mucosa of the gastric fundic gland, usually without chronic gastritis or intestinal metaplasia. Histologically, the tumor cells are closely arranged to form anastomosing tubular glands, and more than 95% of tumor cells differentiate towards chief cells. Most gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland cases are characterized by submucosal involvement, but the tumor volume is usually small, with lymphatic and vascular invasion rarely observed. Therefore, endoscopic submucosal dissection can be an ideal treatment, leading to a favorable prognosis, and recurrence and metastasis of the disease are uncommon.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Precise diagnosis and evaluation of GC, especially using noninvasive methods, are fundamental to optimal therapeutic decision-making. Despite the recent rapid advancements in technology, pretreatment diagnostic accuracy varies between modalities, and correlations between imaging and histological features are far from perfect. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, particularly hand-crafted radiomics and deep learning, have offered hope in addressing these issues. AI has been used widely in GC research, because of its ability to convert medical images into minable data and to detect invisible textures. In this article, we systematically reviewed the methodological processes (data acquisition, lesion segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection, and model construction) involved in AI. We also summarized the current clinical applications of AI in GC research, which include characterization, differential diagnosis, treatment response monitoring, and prognosis prediction. Challenges and opportunities in AI-based GC research are highlighted for consideration in future studies.
