A Combined-Radiomics Approach of CT Images to Predict Response to Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy in NSCLC: A Retrospective Multicenter Study

ObjectiveBased on non-contrast-enhanced (NCE)/contrast-enhanced (CE) computed tomography (CT) images, we try to identify a combined-radiomics model and evaluate its predictive capacity regarding response to anti-PD1 immunotherapy of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods131 patient...

description ObjectiveBased on non-contrast-enhanced (NCE)/contrast-enhanced (CE) computed tomography (CT) images, we try to identify a combined-radiomics model and evaluate its predictive capacity regarding response to anti-PD1 immunotherapy of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods131 patients with NSCLC undergoing anti-PD1 immunotherapy were retrospectively enrolled from 7 institutions. Using largest lesion (LL) and target lesions (TL) approaches, we performed a radiomics analysis based on pretreatment NCE-CT (NCE-radiomics) and CE-CT images (CE-radiomics), respectively. Meanwhile, a combined-radiomics model based on NCE-CT and CE-CT images was constructed. Finally, we developed their corresponding nomograms incorporating clinical factors. ROC was used to evaluate models’ predictive performance in the training and testing set, and a DeLong test was employed to compare the differences between different models.ResultsFor TL approach, both NCE-radiomics and CE-radiomics performed poorly in predicting response to immunotherapy. For LL approach, NCE-radiomics nomograms and CE-radiomics nomograms incorporating with clinical factor of distant metastasis all showed satisfactory results, reflected by the AUCs in the training (AUC=0.84, 95% CI: 0.75-0.92; AUC=0.77, 95% CI: 0.67-0.87) and test sets (AUC=0.78, 95% CI: 0.64-0.92, AUC=0.73, 95% CI: 0.57-0.88), respectively. Compared with the NCE-radiomics nomograms, the combined-radiomics nomogram showed incremental predictive capacity in the training set (AUC=0.85, 95% CI: 0.77-0.92) and test set (AUC=0.81, 95% CI: 0.67-0.94), respectively, but no statistical difference (P=0.86, P=0.79).ConclusionCompared with radiomics based on single NCE or CE-CT images, the combined-radiomics model has potential advantages to identify patients with NSCLC most likely to benefit from immunotherapy, and may effectively improve more precise and individualized decision support.
