Abstract
To develop machine learning models based on preoperative dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) radiomics and to explore their potential prognostic value in the differential diagnosis of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low from HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). A total of 233 patients with pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were included in this retrospective analysis. Of these, 103 cases were diagnosed as HER2-positive and 130 cases were HER2 low-expression BC. The Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique is employed to address the class imbalance problem. Patients were randomly split into a training set (163 cases) and a validation set (70 cases) in a 7:3 ratio. Radiomics features from DCE-MRI second-phase imaging were extracted. Z-score normalization was used to standardize the radiomics features, and Pearson's correlation coefficient and recursive feature elimination were used to explore the significant features. Prediction models were constructed using 6 machine learning algorithms: logistic regression, random forest, support vector machine, AdaBoost, decision tree, and auto-encoder. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed, and predictive models were evaluated according to the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. In the training set, the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of all models were 1.000. However, in the validation set, the auto-encoder model's AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.994, 0.976, 0.972, and 0.978, respectively. The remaining models' AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 1.000. The DeLong test showed no statistically significant differences between the machine learning models in the training and validation sets (Z = 0, P = 1). Our study investigated the feasibility of using DCE-MRI-based radiomics features to predict HER2-low BC. Certain radiomics features showed associations with HER2-low BC and may have predictive value. Machine learning prediction models developed using these radiomics features could be beneficial for distinguishing between HER2-low and HER2-positive BC. These noninvasive preoperative models have the potential to assist in clinical decision-making for HER2-low breast cancer, thereby advancing personalized clinical precision.

J Med Radiat Sci 2023; 70:462-478.

Abstract
Radiomics is an emerging field that aims to extract and analyse a comprehensive set of quantitative features from medical images. This scoping review is focused on MRI-based radiomic features for the molecular profiling of breast tumours and the implications of this work for predicting patient outcomes. A thorough systematic literature search and outcome extraction were performed to identify relevant studies published in MEDLINE/PubMed (National Centre for Biotechnology Information), EMBASE and Scopus from 2015 onwards. The following information was retrieved from each article: study purpose, study design, extracted radiomic features, machine learning technique(s), sample size/characteristics, statistical result(s) and implications on patient outcomes. Based on the study purpose, four key themes were identified in the included 63 studies: tumour subtype classification (n = 35), pathologically complete response (pCR) prediction (n = 15), lymph node metastasis (LNM) detection (n = 7) and recurrence rate prediction (n = 6). In all four themes, reported accuracies widely varied among the studies, for example, area under receiver characteristics curve (AUC) for detecting LNM ranged from 0.72 to 0.91 and the AUC for predicting pCR ranged from 0.71 to 0.99. In all four themes, combining radiomic features with clinical data improved the predictive models. Preliminary results of this study showed radiomics potential to characterise the whole tumour heterogeneity, with clear implications for individual-targeted treatment. However, radiomics is still in the pre-clinical phase, currently with an insufficient number of large multicentre studies and those existing studies are often limited by insufficient methodological transparency and standardised workflow. Consequently, the clinical translation of existing studies is currently limited.

Breast Cancer Surrogate Subtype Classification Using Pretreatment Multi-Phase Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Radiomics: A Retrospective Single-Center Study. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1150. [PMID: 37511763 PMCID: PMC10381456 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13071150] [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: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the potential of multi-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) radiomics for classifying breast cancer surrogate subtypes. This retrospective study analyzed 360 breast cancers from 319 patients who underwent pretreatment DCE-MRI between January 2015 and January 2019. The cohort consisted of 33 triple-negative, 26 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, 109 luminal A-like, 144 luminal B-like HER2-negative, and 48 luminal B-like HER2-positive lesions. A total of 1781 radiomic features were extracted from manually segmented breast cancers in each DCE-MRI sequence. The model was internally validated and selected using ten times repeated five-fold cross-validation on the primary cohort, with further evaluation using a validation cohort. The most successful models were logistic regression models applied to the third post-contrast subtraction images. These models exhibited the highest area under the curve (AUC) for discriminating between luminal A like vs. others (AUC: 0.78), luminal B-like HER2 negative vs. others (AUC: 0.57), luminal B-like HER2 positive vs. others (AUC: 0.60), HER2 positive vs. others (AUC: 0.81), and triple negative vs. others (AUC: 0.83). In conclusion, the radiomic features extracted from multi-phase DCE-MRI are promising for discriminating between breast cancer subtypes. The best-performing models relied on tissue changes observed during the mid-stage of the imaging process.

Biomed Rep 2023; 18:22. [PMID: 36846616 PMCID: PMC9945078 DOI: 10.3892/br.2023.1604] [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: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal malignancy worldwide. The poor specificity and sensitivity of the fecal occult blood test has prompted the development of CRC-related genetic markers for CRC screening and treatment. Gene expression profiles in stool specimens are effective, sensitive and clinically applicable. Herein, a novel advantage of using cells shed from the colon is presented for cost-effective CRC screening. Molecular panels were generated through a series of leave-one-out cross-validation and discriminant analyses. A logistic regression model following reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and immunohistochemistry was used to validate a specific panel for CRC prediction. The panel, consisting of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 N (UBE2N), inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 (IMPDH1), dynein cytoplasmic 1 light intermediate chain 1 (DYNC1LI1) and phospholipase A and acyltransferase 2 (HRASLS2), accurately recognized patients with CRC and could thus be further investigated as a potential prognostic and predictive biomarker for CRC. UBE2N, IMPDH1 and DYNC1LI1 expression levels were upregulated and HRASLS2 expression was downregulated in CRC tissues. The predictive power of the panel was 96.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 88.1-99.6%] sensitivity and 89.7% (95% CI, 72.6-97.8%) specificity at a predicted cut-off value at 0.540, suggesting that this four-gene panel testing of stool specimens can faithfully mirror the state of the colon. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that screening for CRC or cancer detection in stool specimens collected non-invasively does not require the inclusion of an excessive number of genes, and colonic defects can be identified via the detection of an aberrant protein in the mucosa or submucosa.

Multiparametric MRI Features of Breast Cancer Molecular Subtypes. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58121716. [PMID: 36556918 PMCID: PMC9785392 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58121716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Breast cancer (BC) molecular subtypes have unique incidence, survival and response to therapy. There are five BC subtypes described by immunohistochemistry: luminal A, luminal B HER2 positive and HER2 negative, triple negative (TNBC) and HER2-enriched. Multiparametric breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) provides morphological and functional characteristics of breast tumours and is nowadays recommended in the preoperative setting. Aim: To evaluate the multiparametric MRI features (T2-WI, ADC values and DCE) of breast tumours along with breast density and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) features among different BC molecular subtypes. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study which included 344 patients. All underwent multiparametric breast MRI (T2WI, ADC and DCE sequences) and features were extracted according to the latest BIRADS lexicon. The inter-reader agreement was assessed using the intraclass coefficient (ICC) between the ROI of ADC obtained from the two breast imagers (experienced and moderately experienced). Results: The study population was divided as follows: 89 (26%) with luminal A, 39 (11.5%) luminal B HER2 positive, 168 (48.5%) luminal B HER2 negative, 41 (12%) triple negative (TNBC) and 7 (2%) with HER2 enriched. Luminal A tumours were associated with special histology type, smallest tumour size and persistent kinetic curve (all p-values < 0.05). Luminal B HER2 negative tumours were associated with lowest ADC value (0.77 × 10−3 mm2/s2), which predicts the BC molecular subtype with an accuracy of 0.583. TNBC were associated with asymmetric and moderate/marked BPE, round/oval masses with circumscribed margins and rim enhancement (all p-values < 0.05). HER2 enriched BC were associated with the largest tumour size (mean 37.28 mm, p-value = 0.02). Conclusions: BC molecular subtypes can be associated with T2WI, ADC and DCE MRI features. ADC can help predict the luminal B HER2 negative cases.

Abstract
Abstract
In the artificial intelligence era, machine learning (ML) techniques have gained more and more importance in the advanced analysis of medical images in several fields of modern medicine. Radiomics extracts a huge number of medical imaging features revealing key components of tumor phenotype that can be linked to genomic pathways. The multi-dimensional nature of radiomics requires highly accurate and reliable machine-learning methods to create predictive models for classification or therapy response assessment.
Multi-parametric breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used for dense breast imaging as well for screening in high-risk patients and has shown its potential to improve clinical diagnosis of breast cancer. For this reason, the application of ML techniques to breast MRI, in particular to multi-parametric imaging, is rapidly expanding and enhancing both diagnostic and prognostic power. In this review we will focus on the recent literature related to the use of ML in multi-parametric breast MRI for tumor classification and differentiation of molecular subtypes. Indeed, at present, different models and approaches have been employed for this task, requiring a detailed description of the advantages and drawbacks of each technique and a general overview of their performances.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of radiomics in predicting molecular subtype of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) based on dynamic contrast enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).MethodsA total of 303 cases with pathologically confirmed IDC from January 2018 to March 2021 were enrolled in this study, including 223 cases from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (training/test set) and 80 cases from Shaoxing Central Hospital (validation set). All the cases were classified as HR+/Luminal, HER2-enriched, and TNBC according to immunohistochemistry. DCE-MRI original images were treated by semi-automated segmentation to initially extract original and wavelet-transformed radiomic features. The extended logistic regression with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalty was applied to identify the optimal radiomic features, which were then used to establish predictive models combined with significant clinical risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis were adopted to evaluate the effectiveness and clinical benefit of the models established.ResultsOf the 223 cases from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, HR+/Luminal cancers were diagnosed in 116 cases (52.02%), HER2-enriched in 71 cases (31.84%), and TNBC in 36 cases (16.14%). Based on the training set, 788 radiomic features were extracted in total and 8 optimal features were further identified, including 2 first-order features, 1 gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM), 4 gray-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM), and 1 3D shape feature. Three multi-class classification models were constructed by extended logistic regression: clinical model (age, menopause, tumor location, Ki-67, histological grade, and lymph node metastasis), radiomic model, and combined model. The macro-average areas under the ROC curve (macro-AUC) for the three models were 0.71, 0.81, and 0.84 in the training set, 0.73, 0.81, and 0.84 in the test set, and 0.76, 0.82, and 0.83 in the validation set, respectively.ConclusionThe DCE-MRI-based radiomic features are significant biomarkers for distinguishing molecular subtypes of breast cancer noninvasively. Notably, the classification performance could be improved with the fusion analysis of multi-modal features.

Feng S, Yin J. Radiomics of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging parametric maps and apparent diffusion coefficient maps to predict Ki-67 status in breast cancer. Front Oncol 2022; 12:847880.

Abstract
Purpose This study was aimed at evaluating whether a radiomics model based on the entire tumor region from breast dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parametric maps and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps could indicate the Ki-67 status of patients with breast cancer. Materials and methods This retrospective study enrolled 205 women with breast cancer who underwent clinicopathological examination. Among them, 93 (45%) had a low Ki-67 amplification index (Ki-67 positivity< 14%), and 112 (55%) had a high Ki-67 amplification index (Ki-67 positivity ≥ 14%). Radiomics features were extracted from three DCE-MRI parametric maps and ADC maps calculated from two different b values of diffusion-weighted imaging sequences. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (70% of patients) and a validation set (30% of patients). After feature selection, we trained six support vector machine classifiers by combining different parameter maps and used 10-fold cross-validation to predict the expression level of Ki-67. The performance of six classifiers was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, sensitivity, and specificity in both cohorts. Results Among the six classifiers constructed, a radiomics feature set combining three DCE-MRI parametric maps and ADC maps yielded an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.839 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.768-0.895) within the training set and 0.795 (95% CI, 0.674-0.887) within the independent validation set. Additionally, the AUC value, compared with that for a single parameter map, was moderately increased by combining features from the three parametric maps. Conclusions Radiomics features derived from the DCE-MRI parametric maps and ADC maps have the potential to serve as imaging biomarkers to determine Ki-67 status in patients with breast cancer.
