用动态MRI和临床数据预测乳腺癌化疗反应,准确率超85%。

Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Treatment Response Prediction Using Aligned Longitudinal MRI and Clinical Data

  • 通过图像配准对齐不同时期的肿瘤影像,捕捉治疗过程中的内部变化。
  • 基于影像组学特征的模型在预测病理完全缓解上达到AUC 0.88、准确率0.85。
  • 该方法可为个体化化疗决策提供支持,适合肿瘤医学与人工智能交叉研究者。

本研究旨在利用纵向增强磁共振成像(CE-MRI)和临床数据,预测乳腺癌患者新辅助化疗(NACT)的治疗反应。目标是构建机器学习模型,分别进行病理完全缓解(PCR)和5年无复发生存状态(RFS)的二分类预测。框架包括肿瘤分割、图像配准、特征提取和建模。通过图像配准方法,可在不同时间点对同一肿瘤区域提取并比较影像特征,以监测治疗过程中的瘤内变化。对比了四种特征提取器(一种影像组学和三种基于深度学习的:MedicalNet、Segformer3D、SAM-Med3D),结合三种特征选择方法与四种机器学习模型,构建并评估预测模型。结果表明,基于图像配准的特征提取显著提升模型性能;在PCR和RFS分类任务中,使用影像组学特征训练的逻辑回归模型表现最佳,对应AUC分别为0.88和0.78,分类准确率分别为0.85和0.72。结论显示,图像配准有效提升了纵向特征学习性能,且影像组学方法优于预训练深度学习模型,具备更高性能与可解释性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Aim: This study investigates treatment response prediction to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in breast cancer patients, using longitudinal contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images (CE-MRI) and clinical data. The goal is to develop machine learning (ML) models to predict pathologic complete response (PCR binary classification) and 5-year relapse-free survival status (RFS binary classification). Method: The proposed framework includes tumour segmentation, image registration, feature extraction, and predictive modelling. Using the image registration method, MRI image features can be extracted and compared from the original tumour site at different time points, therefore monitoring the intratumor changes during NACT process. Four feature extractors, including one radiomics and three deep learning-based (MedicalNet, Segformer3D, SAM-Med3D) were implemented and compared. In combination with three feature selection methods and four ML models, predictive models are built and compared. Results: The proposed image registration-based feature extraction consistently improves the predictive models. In the PCR and RFS classification tasks logistic regression model trained on radiomic features performed the best with an AUC of 0.88 and classification accuracy of 0.85 for PCR classification, and AUC of 0.78 and classification accuracy of 0.72 for RFS classification. Conclusions: It is evidenced that the image registration method has significantly improved performance in longitudinal feature learning in predicting PCR and RFS. The radiomics feature extractor is more effective than the pre-trained deep learning feature extractors, with higher performance and better interpretability.
