Contrast-enhanced CT radiomics features to predict recurrence of locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell cancer within 2 years after trimodal therapy: A case-control study.
Medicine(2021)
Abstract
ABSTRACT:Radiomics transforms the medical images into high-dimensional quantitative features and provides potential information about tumor phenotypes and heterogeneity. We conducted a retrospective analysis to explore and validate radiomics model based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) to predict recurrence of locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell cancer (SCC) within 2 years after trimodal therapy. This study collected CECT and clinical data of consecutive 220 patients with pathology-confirmed locally advanced oesophageal SCC (154 in the training cohort and 66 in the validation cohort). Univariate statistical test and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method were performed to select the optimal radiomics features. Logistic regression was conducted to build radiomics model, clinical model, and combined model of both the radiomics and clinical features. Predictive performance was judged by the area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), accuracy, and F1-score in the training and validation cohorts. Ten optimal radiomics features and/or 7 clinical features were selected to build radiomics model, clinical model, and the combined model. The integrated model of radiomics and clinical features was superior to radiomics model or clinical model in predicting recurrence of locally advanced oesophageal SCC within 2 years in the training (AUC: 0.879 vs 0.815 or 0.763; accuracy: 0.844 vs 0.773 or 0.740; and F1-score: 0.886 vs 0.839 or 0.815, respectively) and validation (AUC: 0.857 vs 0.720 or 0.750; accuracy: 0.788 vs 0.700 or 0.697; and F1-score: 0.851 vs 0.800 or 0.787, respectively) cohorts. The combined model of radiomics and clinical features shows better performance than the radiomics or clinical model to predict the recurrence of locally advanced oesophageal SCC within 2 years after trimodal therapy.
