Application of multi-modality MRI-based radiomics in the pre-treatment prediction of RPS6K expression in hepatocellular carcinoma

In this study, we aim to develop and validate a radiomics model for pretreatment prediction of RPS6K expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, thus helping clinical decision-making of mTOR-inhibitor (mTORi) therapy. We retrospectively enrolled 147 HCC patients, who underwent curative he...

Sumario:In this study, we aim to develop and validate a radiomics model for pretreatment prediction of RPS6K expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, thus helping clinical decision-making of mTOR-inhibitor (mTORi) therapy. We retrospectively enrolled 147 HCC patients, who underwent curative hepatic resection at First Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine. RPS6K expression was determined with immunohistochemistry staining. Patients were randomly split into training or validation cohorts on a 7:3 ratio. Radiomics features were extracted from T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images. Machine learning algorithms including multiple logistic regression (MLR), supporting vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and artificial neural network (ANN) were applied to construct the predictive model. A nomogram was further built to visualize the possibility of RPS6K expression. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) was used to evaluate the performance of diagnostic models. 174 radiomics features were confirmed correlated with RPS6K expression. Amongst all built models, the ANN-based hybrid model exhibited best predictive ability with AUC of 0.887 and 0.826 in training and validation cohorts. ALB was identified as the key clinical index, and the nomogram displayed further improved ability with AUC of 0.917 and 0.845. In this study, we proved MRI-based radiomics model and nomogram can accurately predict RPS6K expression non-invasively, thus providing help for clinical decision making for mTORi therapy.
