Abstract
Purpose
To compare the ability of a clinical-computed tomography (CT) model vs. 2D and 3D radiomics models for predicting occult peritoneal metastasis (PM) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC).
Methods
In this retrospective study, we included 49 patients with occult PM and 49 control patients (without PM) who underwent preoperative CT and subsequent surgery between January 2016 and December 2018. Clinical information and CT semantic features were collected, and CT radiomics features were extracted. A predictive clinical-CT model was created using multivariate logistic regression. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm and logistic regression were used for constructing 2D and 3D radiomics models. These models were validated with an external cohort (n = 30). Receiver operating characteristics curve with area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were used to evaluate predictive performance.
Results
Tumor size, mild ascites, and serum CA125 were independent factors predictive of occult PM. The clinical-CT model of these independent factors showed better diagnostic performance than 2D and 3D radiomics models. In the external validation cohort, the AUCs of different models were as follows—clinical-CT model: 0.853 (sensitivity, 66.7%; specificity, 93.3%); 2D radiomics model: 0.622 (sensitivity, 80.0%; specificity, 46.7%); and 3D radiomics model: 0.676 (sensitivity, 60.0%; specificity, 86.0%). The clinical-CT model nomogram showed good clinical predictive efficiency to assess occult PM.
Conclusion
The clinical-CT model was better than the radiomics models in predicting occult PM in AGC.
