Non-Invasive Radiomics Approach Predict Invasiveness of Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma Before Surgery

PurposeCraniopharyngiomas (CPs) are benign tumors, complete tumor resection is considered to be the optimal treatment. However, although histologically benign, the local invasiveness of CPs commonly contributes to incomplete resection and a poor prognosis. At present, some advocate less aggressive s...

description PurposeCraniopharyngiomas (CPs) are benign tumors, complete tumor resection is considered to be the optimal treatment. However, although histologically benign, the local invasiveness of CPs commonly contributes to incomplete resection and a poor prognosis. At present, some advocate less aggressive surgery combined with radiotherapy as a more reasonable and effective means of protecting hypothalamus function and preventing recurrence in patients with tight tumor adhesion to the hypothalamus. Hence, if a method can be developed to predict the invasiveness of CP preoperatively, it will help in the development of a more personalized surgical strategy. The aim of the study was to report a radiomics-clinical nomogram for the individualized preoperative prediction of the invasiveness of adamantinomatous CP (ACPs) before surgery.MethodsIn total, 1,874 radiomics features were extracted from whole tumors on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. A support vector machine trained a predictive model that was validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis on an independent test set. Moreover, a nomogram was constructed incorporating clinical characteristics and the radiomics signature for individual prediction.ResultsEleven features associated with the invasiveness of ACPs were selected by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. These features yielded area under the curve (AUC) values of 79.09 and 73.5% for the training and test sets, respectively. The nomogram incorporating peritumoral edema and the radiomics signature yielded good calibration in the training and test sets with the AUCs of 84.79 and 76.48%, respectively.ConclusionThe developed model yields good performance, indicating that the invasiveness of APCs can be predicted using noninvasive radiological data. This reliable, noninvasive tool can help clinical decision making and improve patient prognosis.
