Published: November 2021

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a model using dose volume histogram (DVH) and dosiomic features to predict the risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in the treatment of esophageal cancer with radiation therapy and to compare the performance of DVH and dosiomic features after adjustment for the effect of fractionation by correcting the dose to the equivalent dose in 2 Gy (EQD2).

Materials And Methods: DVH features and dosiomic features were extracted from the 3D dose distribution of 101 esophageal cancer patients. The features were extracted with and without correction to EQD2. A predictive model was trained to predict RP grade ≥ 1 by logistic regression with L1 norm regularization. The models were then evaluated by the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs).

Result: The AUCs of both DVH-based models with and without correction of the dose to EQD2 were 0.66 and 0.66, respectively. Both dosiomic-based models with correction of the dose to EQD2 (AUC = 0.70) and without correction of the dose to EQD2 (AUC = 0.71) showed significant improvement in performance when compared to both DVH-based models. There were no significant differences in the performance of the model by correcting the dose to EQD2.

Conclusion: Dosiomic features can improve the performance of the predictive model for RP compared with that obtained with the DVH-based model.

Added Value of Biological Effective Dose in Dosiomics-Based Modelling of Late Rectal Bleeding in Prostate Cancer.

Cancers (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Radiotherapy, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Background/objectives: Extracting spatial features (texture analysis) from dose distributions (dosiomics) for outcome prediction is a rapidly evolving field in radiotherapy. To account for fraction size differences, the biological effective dose (BED) is often calculated. We evaluated the impact and added value of the BED in the dosiomics prediction modelling of grade ≥ 2 late rectal bleeding (LRB) probability within 5 years after treatment in three parts.

November 2024

Department of Health Technology and Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Room Y910, 9/F, Block Y, Lee Shau Kee Building, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral mucositis (OM) is a significant complication for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients undergoing radiotherapy, impacting their quality of life, and this study aimed to create a prediction model for severe OM.
  • The research involved 464 NPC patients, with a focus on developing a multi-omic model that incorporated clinical, radiomic, and dosiomic features and comparing its effectiveness to a conventional model.
  • The multi-omic approach demonstrated better predictive accuracy for severe OM, highlighting the potential for personalized treatment strategies in managing this debilitating side effect in NPC patients.
