Gastroenterol Rep (Oxf) 2024; 12:goae042. [PMID: 38726026 PMCID: PMC11078894 DOI: 10.1093/gastro/goae042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There have been no studies on predicting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status in patients with resectable gastric cancer (GC) in the neoadjuvant and perioperative settings. We aimed to investigate the use of preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) imaging features combined with clinical characteristics for predicting HER2 expression in GC. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 301 patients with GC who underwent curative resection and preoperative CECT. HER2 status was confirmed by postoperative immunohistochemical analysis with or without fluorescence in situ hybridization. A prediction model was developed using CECT imaging features and clinical characteristics that were independently associated with HER2 status using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed and the performance of the prediction model was evaluated. The bootstrap method was used for internal validation. Results Three CECT imaging features and one serum tumor marker were independently associated with HER2 status in GC: enhancement ratio in the arterial phase (odds ratio [OR] = 4.535; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.220-9.264), intratumoral necrosis (OR = 2.64; 95% CI, 1.180-5.258), tumor margin (OR = 3.773; 95% CI, 1.968-7.235), and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) level (OR = 5.551; 95% CI, 1.361-22.651). A prediction model derived from these variables showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.802 (95% CI, 0.740-0.864) for predicting HER2 status in GC. The established model was stable, and the parameters were accurately estimated. Conclusions Enhancement ratio in the arterial phase, intratumoral necrosis, tumor margin, and CA125 levels were independently associated with HER2 status in GC. The prediction model derived from these factors may be used preoperatively to estimate HER2 status in GC and guide clinical treatment.

Preoperative prediction of microsatellite instability status in colorectal cancer based on a multiphasic enhanced CT radiomics nomogram model. BMC Med Imaging 2024; 24:77. [PMID: 38566000 PMCID: PMC10988858 DOI: 10.1186/s12880-024-01252-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the value of a nomogram model based on the combination of clinical-CT features and multiphasic enhanced CT radiomics for the preoperative prediction of the microsatellite instability (MSI) status in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. METHODS A total of 347 patients with a pathological diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma, including 276 microsatellite stabilized (MSS) patients and 71 MSI patients (243 training and 104 testing), were included. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to identify the clinical-CT features of CRC patients linked with MSI status to build a clinical model. Radiomics features were extracted from arterial phase (AP), venous phase (VP), and delayed phase (DP) CT images. Different radiomics models for the single phase and multiphase (three-phase combination) were developed to determine the optimal phase. A nomogram model that combines clinical-CT features and the optimal phasic radscore was also created. RESULTS Platelet (PLT), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), tumour location, enhancement pattern, and AP contrast ratio (ACR) were independent predictors of MSI status in CRC patients. Among the AP, VP, DP, and three-phase combination models, the three-phase combination model was selected as the best radiomics model. The best MSI prediction efficacy was demonstrated by the nomogram model built from the combination of clinical-CT features and the three-phase combination model, with AUCs of 0.894 and 0.839 in the training and testing datasets, respectively. CONCLUSION The nomogram model based on the combination of clinical-CT features and three-phase combination radiomics features can be used as an auxiliary tool for the preoperative prediction of the MSI status in CRC patients.

Abstract
PurposeThis study verified the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to construct a nomogram to preoperatively predict extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) in rectal cancer using MRI characteristics.Materials and methodsThere were 55 rectal cancer patients with EMVI and 49 without EMVI in the internal training group. The external validation group consisted of 54 rectal cancer patients with EMVI and 55 without EMVI. High-resolution rectal T2WI, pelvic diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences, and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) were used. We collected the following data: distance between the lower tumor margin and the anal margin, distance between the lower tumor margin and the anorectal ring, tumor proportion of intestinal wall, mrT stage, maximum tumor diameter, circumferential resection margin, superior rectal vein width, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), T2WI EMVI score, DWI and DCE-MRI EMVI scores, demographic information, and preoperative serum tumor marker data. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors of EMVI. A nomogram prediction model was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis verified the predictive ability of the nomogram. P < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultTumor proportion of intestinal wall, superior rectal vein width, T2WI EMVI score, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 were significant independent predictors of EMVI in rectal cancer and were used to create the model. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivities, and specificities of the nomogram were 0.746, 65.45%, and 83.67% for the internal training group, respectively, and 0.780, 77.1%, and 71.3% for the external validation group, respectively.Data conclusionA nomogram including MRI characteristics can predict EMVI in rectal cancer preoperatively and provides a valuable reference to formulate individualized treatment plans and predict prognosis.

[PMID: 34806195 DOI: 10.1002/mp.15361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE It is of great significance to accurately identify the KRAS gene mutation status for patients in tumor prognosis and personalized treatment. Although the computer-aided diagnosis system based on deep learning has gotten all-round development, its performance still cannot meet the current clinical application requirements due to the inherent limitations of small-scale medical image data set and inaccurate lesion feature extraction. Therefore, our aim is to propose a deep learning model based on T2 MRI of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients to identify whether KRAS gene is mutated. METHODS In this research, a multitask attentive model is proposed to identify KRAS gene mutations in patients, which is mainly composed of a segmentation subnetwork and an identification subnetwork. Specifically, at first, the features extracted by the encoder of segmentation model are used as guidance information to guide the two attention modules in the identification network for precise activation of the lesion area. Then the original image of the lesion and the segmentation result are concatenated for feature extraction. Finally, features extracted from the second step are combined with features activated by the attention modules to identify the gene mutation status. In this process, we introduce the interlayer loss function to encourage the similarity of the two subnetwork parameters and ensure that the key features are fully extracted to alleviate the overfitting problem caused by small data set to some extent. RESULTS The proposed identification model is benchmarked primarily using 15-fold cross validation. Three hundred and eighty-two images from 36 clinical cases were used to test the model. For the identification of KRAS mutation status, the average accuracy is 89.95 ± 1.23%, the average sensitivity is 89.29 ± 1.79%, the average specificity is 90.53 ± 2.45%, and the average area under the curve (AUC) is 95.73 ± 0.52%. For segmentation of lesions, the average dice is 88.11 ± 0.86%. CONCLUSIONS We developed a novel deep learning-based model to identify the KRAS status in CRC. We demonstrated the excellent properties of the proposed identification through comparison with ground truth gene mutation status of 36 clinical cases. And all these results show that the novel method has great potential for clinical application.

COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2021; 209:106311.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Identifying the KRAS mutation status accurately in medical images is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Despite the substantial progress achieved by existing methods, it remains challenging due to limited annotated dataset, large intra-class variances, and a high degree of inter-class similarities. METHODS To tackle these challenges, we propose a spatial-frequency dual-branch attention model (SF-DBAM) to determine the KRAS mutation status of colorectal cancer patients using a limited T2-weighted MRI dataset. The dataset contains 169 wild-type patients (2151 images) and 137 mutation-type patients (1666 images). The first branch utilizes part of the pre-trained Xception model to capture spatial-domain information and alleviate the small-scale dataset problem. The second branch builds frequency-domain information into cube columns using block-based discrete cosine transform and channel rearrangement. Then the cube columns are fed into convolutional long short-term memory (convLSTM) to explore the effective information between the reconstructed frequency-domain channels. Also, we design a channel enhanced attention module (CEAM) at the end of each branch to make them focus on the lesion areas. Finally, we concatenate the two branches and output the classified results through fully connected layers. RESULTS The proposed method achieves 88.03% overall accuracy with AUC of 94.27% and specificity of 90.75% in 10-fold cross-validation, which is better than the current non-invasive methods for determining KRAS mutation status. CONCLUSIONS We believe that the proposed method can assist physicians to diagnose the KRAS mutation status in patients with colorectal cancer, and other medical problems can benefit from the spatial and frequency domains information.

Abstract
The role of imaging in clinically staging colorectal cancer has grown substantially in the 21st century with more widespread availability of multi-row detector computed tomography (CT), high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and integrated positron-emission tomography (PET)/CT. In contrast to staging many other cancers, increasing colorectal cancer stage does not highly correlate with survival. As has been the case previously, clinical practice incorporates advances in staging and it is used to guide therapy before adoption into international staging guidelines. Emerging imaging techniques show promise to become part of future staging standards.
