AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the ability of radiomic features from preoperative PET scans to predict tumor biology and prognosis in women with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva.
- Forty patients with a specific type of tumor and follow-up data were analyzed using advanced techniques like principal component analysis (PCA) to extract 83 radiomic features.
- While the identified features didn’t strongly correlate with tumor characteristics, Moran's I showed promise in predicting overall survival, suggesting further research is needed to confirm these findings.
Article Abstract
This study investigates whether radiomic features derived from preoperative positron emission tomography (PET) images could predict both tumor biology and prognosis in women with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva. Patients were retrospectively included when they had a unifocal primary cancer of ≥ 2.6 cm in diameter, had received a preoperative F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) scan followed by surgery and had at least six months of follow-up data. F-FDG-PET images were analyzed by semi-automatically drawing on the primary tumor in each PET image, followed by the extraction of 83 radiomic features. Unique radiomic features were identified by principal component analysis (PCA), after which they were compared with histopathology using non-pairwise group comparison and linear regression. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to correlate the identified features with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Forty women were included. PCA revealed four unique radiomic features, which were not associated with histopathologic characteristics such as grading, depth of invasion, lymph-vascular space invasion and metastatic lymph nodes. No statistically significant correlation was found between the identified features and PFS. However, Moran's I, a feature that identifies global spatial autocorrelation, was correlated with OS ( = 0.03). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that extracapsular invasion of the metastatic lymph nodes and Moran's I were independent prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Our data show that PCA is usable to identify specific radiomic features. Although the identified features did not correlate strongly with tumor biology, Moran's I was found to predict patient prognosis. Larger studies are required to establish the clinical relevance of the observed findings.

To investigate the potential of an MRI-based radiomic model in distinguishing malignant prostate cancer (PCa) nodules from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-, as well as determining the incremental value of radiomic features to clinical variables, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score. A restrospective analysis was performed on a total of 251 patients (training cohort, n = 119; internal validation cohort, n = 52; and external validation cohort, n = 80) with prostatic nodules who underwent biparametric MRI at two hospitals between January 2018 and December 2020. A total of 1130 radiomic features were extracted from each MRI sequence, including shape-based features, gray-level histogram-based features, texture features, and wavelet features.

Background And Objective: Though several clinicopathological features are identified as prognostic indicators, potentially prognostic radiomic models are expected to preoperatively and noninvasively predict survival for HCC. Traditional radiomic models are lacking in a consideration for intratumoral regional heterogeneity. The study aimed to establish and validate the predictive power of multiple habitat radiomic models in predicting prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
