Background: The molecular subtype of IDH mut combined with MGMT meth in gliomas suggests a good prognosis and potential benefit from TMZ chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to establish a radiomics model to predict this molecular subtype. Method: The preoperative MR images and genetic data of 498 patients with gliomas were retrospectively collected from our institution and the TCGA/TCIA dataset. A total of 1702 radiomics features were extracted from the tumour region of interest (ROI) of CE-T1 and T2-FLAIR MR images. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression were used for feature selection and model building. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. Results: Regarding clinical variables, age and tumour grade were significantly different between the two molecular subtypes in the training, test and independent validation cohorts (p < 0.05). The areas under the curve (AUCs) of the radiomics model based on 16 selected features in the SMOTE training cohort, un-SMOTE training cohort, test set and independent TCGA/TCIA validation cohort were 0.936, 0.932, 0.916 and 0.866, respectively, and the corresponding F1-scores were 0.860, 0.797, 0.880 and 0.802. The AUC of the independent validation cohort increased to 0.930 for the combined model when integrating the clinical risk factors and radiomics signature. Conclusions: radiomics based on preoperative MRI can effectively predict the molecular subtype of IDH mut combined with MGMT meth.
Objective. To identify the incremental value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features beyond key molecular biomarkers for the risk stratification of high-grade gliomas (HGGs). Methods. A total of 241 patients with preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images and clinical and genetic data were retrospectively collected from our institution and The Cancer Genome Atlas/The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCGA/TCIA) dataset. Radiomic features (n = 1702) were extracted from both postcontrast T1-weighted (CE-T1) and T2-weighted fluid attenuation inversion recovery (T2FLAIR) MR images. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was used to select effective features. A multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model was established to explore the prognostic value of clinical features, molecular biomarkers, and radiomic features. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test were used to evaluate the prognostic model, and a stratified analysis was conducted to demonstrate the incremental value of the radiomics signature. A nomogram was developed to predict the 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year overall survival (OS) probabilities of the patients with HGGs. Results. The radiomics signature provided significant prognostic value for the risk stratification of patients with HGGs. The combined model integrating the radiomics signature with clinical data (age) and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status had the best prognostic value, with C-index values of 0.752 and 0.792 in the training set and external validation set, respectively. Stratified Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed that the radiomics signature could identify the risk subgroups in different clinical and molecular subgroups. Conclusion. This radiomics signature can be used for the risk stratification of patients with HGGs and has incremental value beyond key molecular biomarkers, providing a preoperative basis for individualized diagnosis and treatment decision-making.
