Abstract
Background
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal lymphomatous malignancy which is commonly treated with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based chemotherapy. However, the prognosis outcome of HD-MTX-based treatment cannot be accurately predicted using the current prognostic scoring systems, such as the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) score.
Methods
We studied 2 cohorts of patients with PCNSL and applied lipidomic analysis to their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. After removing the batch effects and features engineering, we applied and compared several classic machine-learning models based on lipidomic data of CSF to predict the relapse of PCNSL in patients who were treated with HD-MTX-based chemotherapy.
Results
We managed to remove the batch effects and get the optimum features of each model. Finally, we found that Cox regression had the best prediction performance (AUC = 0.711) on prognosis outcomes.
Conclusions
We developed a Cox regression model based on lipidomic data, which could effectively predict PCNSL patient prognosis before the HD-MTX-based chemotherapy treatments.
