Synopsis
This study performed a radiomics signature analysis based on a high
resolution T2WI images, and evaluate the value of these quantitative features
in prediction the treatment effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy-radiation
therapy for advanced cervical cancer (>IIb) . And found that Shape and
first-order features seems can provide valuable information and showed
potential in prediction treatment effect of this disease.
Purpose
To study the predictive ability of radiomics signature for advanced
cervical cancer (>IIb) treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy-radiation
therapy based on a high resolution T2WI images.
Materials and Methods
This retrospective study included 100 patients with locally advanced
cervical cancer scanned from March 2013 to May 2018. Baseline and posttherapy
MRI and follow-up data were retrieved for all patients. During these cases, 86
cases were squamous carcinoma and 14 cases were adenocarcinoma, and the
categories of pathological staging include: 26 cases in IIb, 37 cases in IIIa,
19 cases in IIIb, 11 cases in IVa, 7 cases in IVb. All these patients received
concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and all MR examinations were performed before
treatment within one month. According to the curative effect, the patients were
divided into two groups: complete remission group and partial remission group.
All patients were scanned at a 3 T scanner (MAGNETOM Verio, Siemens Healthcare,
Erlangen , Germany). The segmentation of the cancer and the calculation of the
cancer were performed using an in-house developed tool written in Python 3.5.
The features about shape and first-order were extracted and analyzed by using
an Independent-samples t test to test the difference, and with receiver
operating characteristic curve (ROC) to evaluate the diagnostic performance
with SPSS software 18.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL ). P value<0.05 was considered
statistically significant difference.Results
Significant difference were found in shape derived features (VoxelNum,
LeastAxis, Maximum2DDiameterRow, SurfaceArea, MinorAxis,
Maximum2DDiameterColumn, Maximum3DDiameter, aximum2DDiameterSlice, Sphericity,
Volume, MajorAxis) and in first-order features (10Percentile, Mean,
TotalEnergy, Energy, 90Percentil, RootMeanSquared) (All P<0.05) (Table 1).
After analysis of ROC, the features of shape, the SurfaceArea demonstrated a
highest AUC (0.859), for the features of first-order, the TotalEnergy and
Energy get the highest AUC (0.863) (Table 2).Conclusions
Shape
and first-order features derived from radiomics signature seems can provide
valuable information and showed potential in prediction treatment effect for
advanced cervical cancer (>IIb) treated with neoadjuvant
chemotherapy-radiation therapy based on a high resolution T2WI images.Acknowledgements
