摘要:目的 初步探讨基于T2加权成像(T2-weighted imaging, T2WI)的影像组学特征联合患者临床特征构建的模型对早期宫颈鳞状细胞癌深间质浸润(deep stromal invasion, DSI)的诊断价值。方法 回顾性纳入2017年1月至2021年2月在北京协和医院行根治性子宫切除术的早期宫颈鳞状细胞癌患者,并按8∶2的比例随机分为训练集和验证集。收集训练集患者的术前临床特征和矢状位T2WI图像影像组学特征资料,经筛选、特征降维后,采用Logistic回归分析法建立早期宫颈癌DSI诊断模型,包括临床特征模型、影像组学模型和临床-影像组学模型。基于验证集数据,采用受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic, ROC)曲线对上述模型的性能进行验证。结果 共168例符合纳入和排除标准的早期宫颈鳞状细胞癌患者入选本研究。其中训练集135例,验证集33例;经组织病理学证实为浅间质浸润的患者72例,DSI患者96例。共筛选出患者年龄、术前鳞状细胞癌抗原水平、国际妇产科联盟分期3个临床特征和4个影像组学特征用于模型构建。ROC曲线分析显示,临床特征模型、影像组学模型和临床-影像组学模型诊断早期宫颈鳞状细胞癌DSI的曲线下面积分别为0.797(95% CI: 0.623~0.971)、0.793(95% CI: 0.633~0.954)和0.820(95% CI: 0.665~0.974),且以临床-影像组学模型的诊断效能最高,其灵敏度、特异度和准确度分别为85.7%(95% CI: 49.8%~100%)、73.7%(95% CI: 57.9%~100%)和78.8%(95% CI: 69.7%~93.9%)。结论 基于T2WI图像的影像组学特征联合临床特征构建的临床-影像组学模型可作为一种无创的术前检查手段高效判断早期宫颈鳞状细胞癌间质浸润深度。Abstract:Objective To investigate the prediction value of a clinical-radiomics model based on T2- weighted imaging (T2WI) and clinical features for diagnosing deep stromal invasion (DSI) in patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma.Methods Patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma that underwent radical hysterectomy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2017 to February 2021 were retrospectively included and randomly divided into the training set and the validation set with the the ratio of 8∶2. The preoperative clinical features and the radiomics features of sagittal T2WI images were obtained. After selection of key features, a radiomics model, a clinical model, and a clinical-radiomics model for diagnosing DSI in early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma were developed by Logistic regression based on the training set. The performance of different models was compared by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve in the validation set.Results A total of 168 patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this study. They were randomly divided into the training set (n=135) and the validation set (n=33), in which 72 cases had histopathologically confirmed superficial stromal invasion and 96 cases had DSI. Four radiomics features and three clinical parameters (age, Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, and preoperative squamous cell carcinoma antigen levels) were selected and used to develop models. In the validation set, the clinical-radiomics model showed better diagnostic performance with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.820 (95% CI: 0.665-0.974) than the clinical model[AUC: 0.797(95% CI: 0.623-0.971)] and the radiomics model[AUC: 0.793(95% CI: 0.633-0.954)].The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the clinical-radiomics model were 85.7%(95% CI: 49.8%-100%), 73.7%(95% CI: 57.9%-100%), and 78.8%(95% CI: 69.7%-93.9%), respectively.Conclusion Radiomics features based on T2WI images combined with clinical features can be used as a noninvasive preoperative method to determine the depth of stromal invasion in early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

A.通过5折交叉验证法筛选LASSO模型中的最优参数Lambda值,LASSO模型的复杂程度由Lambda(下横坐标)控制,Lambda越大对变量较多的线性模型的惩罚力度越大,从而最终获得1个变量较少的模型。纵坐标表示衡量模型的指标函数,由于因变量为二分类变量,故衡量模型的指标函数选择常用的“Deviance”,即-2×Log-likelihood。红点表示每个Lambda对应的目标参量,左侧竖线表示目标参量最小的Lambda值,右侧竖线表示在目标参量最小值的1个方差范围内得到最简单模型的Lambda值。上横坐标表示随Lambda增大,尚未被剔除变量的数目。B.LASSO模型的系数变化图。每条曲线代表每个特征系数的变化轨迹,在图A选择的最优参数Lambda值的位置(下横坐标)向上划1条竖线(图中未标出),与之相交的变量即为模型最终所纳入的变量,变量所对应的纵坐标即为该变量的回归系数(可理解为该变量的贡献度),上横坐标表示此时模型中非零系数的数目,下横坐标同图A
