Combined radiomics-clinical model to predict platinum-sensitivity in advanced high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma using multimodal MRI

IntroductionWe aimed to predict platinum sensitivity using routine baseline multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and established clinical data in a radiomics framework.MethodsWe evaluated 96 patients with ovarian cancer who underwent multimodal MRI and routine laboratory tests between January 2016 and December 2020. The patients underwent diffusion-weighted, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted, and T2-weighted MRI. Subsequently, 293 radiomic features were extracted by manually identifying tumor regions of interest. The features were subjected to the least absolute shrinkage and selection operators, leaving only a few selected features. We built the first prediction model with a tree-based classifier using selected radiomics features. A second prediction model was built by combining the selected radiomic features with four established clinical factors: age, disease stage, initial tumor marker level, and treatment course. Both models were built and tested using a five-fold cross-validation.ResultsOur radiomics model predicted platinum sensitivity with an AUC of 0.65 using a few radiomics features related to heterogeneity. The second combined model had an AUC of 0.77, confirming the incremental benefits of the radiomics model in addition to models using established clinical factors.ConclusionOur combined radiomics-clinical data model was effective in predicting platinum sensitivity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer

Novel Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Deep Learning and Clinical Parameter Integration for the Prediction of Long-Term Biochemical Recurrence-Free Survival in Prostate Cancer after Radical Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the main treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Biochemical recurrence (BCR) following RP remains the first sign of aggressive disease; hence, better assessment of potential long-term post-RP BCR-free survival is crucial. Our study aimed to evaluate a combined clinical-deep learning (DL) model using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for predicting long-term post-RP BCR-free survival in PCa. A total of 437 patients with PCa who underwent mpMRI followed by RP between 2008 and 2009 were enrolled; radiomics features were extracted from T2-weighted imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient maps, and contrast-enhanced sequences by manually delineating the index tumors. Deep features from the same set of imaging were extracted using a deep neural network based on pretrained EfficentNet-B0. Here, we present a clinical model (six clinical variables), radiomics model, DL model (DLM-Deep feature), combined clinical–radiomics model (CRM-Multi), and combined clinical–DL model (CDLM-Deep feature) that were built using Cox models regularized with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. We compared their prognostic performances using stratified fivefold cross-validation. In a median follow-up of 61 months, 110/437 patients experienced BCR. CDLM-Deep feature achieved the best performance (hazard ratio [HR] = 7.72), followed by DLM-Deep feature (HR = 4.37) or RM-Multi (HR = 2.67). CRM-Multi performed moderately. Our results confirm the superior performance of our mpMRI-derived DL algorithm over conventional radiomics. © 2023 by the authors.11Nsciescopu
