Prognostic value of computed tomography radiomics features in patients with gastric cancer following curative resection.
European Radiology 2018 December 6
OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate the clinical prognostic significance of radiomics signature (R-signature) in patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical resection.
METHODS: A total of 181 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical resection were enrolled in this retrospective study. The association between the R-signature and overall survival (OS) was assessed in the primary cohort and verified in the validation cohort. Furthermore, the performance of a radiomics nomogram integrating the R-signature and significant clinicopathological risk factors was evaluated.
RESULTS: The R-signature, which consisted of six imaging features, stratified patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical resection into two prognostic risk groups in both cohorts. The radiomics nomogram incorporating R-signature and significant clinicopathological risk factors (T stage, N stage, and differentiation) exhibited significant prognostic superiority over clinical nomogram and R-signature alone (Harrell concordance index, 0.82 vs 0.71 and 0.82 vs 0.74, respectively, p < 0.001 in both analyses). All calibration curves showed remarkable consistency between predicted and actual survival, and decision curve analysis verified the usefulness of the radiomics nomogram for clinical practice.
CONCLUSIONS: The R-signature could be used to stratify patients with gastric cancer following radical resection into high- and low-risk groups. Furthermore, the radiomics nomogram provided better predictive accuracy than other predictive models and might aid clinicians with therapeutic decision-making and patient counseling.
KEY POINTS: • Radiomics can stratify the gastric cancer patients following radical resection into high- and low-risk groups. • Radiomics can improve the prognostic value of TNM staging system. • Radiomics may facilitate personalized treatment of gastric cancer patients.
