Purpose or Objective

To develop an association between CT-based radiomics score and clinical prognostic factors capable of predicting recurrence free survival (RFS) in patients with lung lesions <5cm

Material and Methods

We analysed data from 62 patients and 66 lesions treated with SABR from January 2015 to February 2019 in our institution. 4D PET-CT images were used for treatment planning, however, only CT images were used for extracting Radiomics features. The dose and number of fractions were selected according to our institution protocol.


Retrospectively, a RFS predictive signature was derived. LASSO-Cox regression was implemented for feature selection and univariate and multivariate Cox-proportional Hazard regression were implemented with radiomics features and prognostic clinical factors. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves were implemented to evaluate the prognostic value of the signature. A nomogram was developed for the clinical radiomics model.

Results

Patient’s characteristics are displayed in Table 1. The LASSO-Cox selected three radiomics features as relevant for RFS prediction from GLCM and GLSZM matrices. The radiomics model associated with RFS with a Concordance index (CI) of 0.63[0.55- 0.72]. Four clinical factors were selected by LASSO (body mass index, Karnofsky status, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and previous thorax irradiation). The clinical model showed a similar predictive capacity as radiomics only (CI = 0.68[0.57- 0.78]). The integration of radiomics with clinical data improved the predictive value to a CI=0.84[0.78-0.9]. KM curves showed significant differences in RFS between low, medium and high clinical radiomics score (Figure 1). 





Conclusion

This study suggest that CT-based radiomics score associated with prognostic clinical factors might be a useful tool to improve the prediction of outcomes in patients with lung lesions treated with radical intention. Validation of the score is needed.
