Objectives
To evaluate the predictive value of radiomics features on the distant metastasis (DM) of stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) preoperatively, by comparing with clinical characteristics and CT morphological features, and to screen the important prognostic predictors.
Methods
One hundred ninety-four stage I NSCLC patients were retrospectively enrolled, DM free survival (DMFS) was evaluated. The consensus clustering analysis was used to build the radiomics signatures in the primary cohort and validated in the validation cohort. The univariate survival analysis was performed in clinical characteristics, CT morphological features and radiomics signatures, respectively. Cox model was performed and C-index was calculated.
Results
There were 25 patients (12.9%) with DM. The median DMFS was 15 months. Three hundred thirteen radiomics features were selected, then classified into five groups, two subtypes (I and II) with each group. The RS1 showed the best prognostic ability with C-index of 0.355(95% confidence interval [CI], 0.269–0.442; p < 0.001). The histological type exhibited a good prognostic ability with C-index of 0.123 (95% CI, 0.000–0.305; p < 0.001) for DMFS. Cox model showed RS1(hazard ratio [HR] 18.025, 95% CI 2.366–137.340), pleural indentation sign (HR 2.623, 95% CI 1.070–6.426) and histological type (HR 4.461, 95% CI 1.783–11.162) were the independent prognostic factors (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
Radiomics provided a new modality for the distant metastatic prediction of stage I NSCLC. Patients with type II of RS1, pleural indentation sign and nonadenocarcinoma indicated the high probability of postsurgical DM.
