Abstract

Tumors are characterized by somatic mutations that drive biological processes ultimately reflected in tumor phenotype. With regard to radiographic phenotypes, generally unconnected through present understanding to the presence of specific mutations, artificial intelligence methods can automatically quantify phenotypic characters by using predefined, engineered algorithms or automatic deep-learning methods, a process also known as radiomics. Here we demonstrate how imaging phenotypes can be connected to somatic mutations through an integrated analysis of independent datasets of 763 lung adenocarcinoma patients with somatic mutation testing and engineered CT image analytics. We developed radiomic signatures capable of distinguishing between tumor genotypes in a discovery cohort (n = 353) and verified them in an independent validation cohort (n = 352). All radiomic signatures significantly outperformed conventional radiographic predictors (tumor volume and maximum diameter). We found a radiomic signature related to radiographic heterogeneity that successfully discriminated between EGFR+ and EGFR− cases (AUC = 0.69). Combining this signature with a clinical model of EGFR status (AUC = 0.70) significantly improved prediction accuracy (AUC = 0.75). The highest performing signature was capable of distinguishing between EGFR+ and KRAS+ tumors (AUC = 0.80) and, when combined with a clinical model (AUC = 0.81), substantially improved its performance (AUC = 0.86). A KRAS+/KRAS− radiomic signature also showed significant albeit lower performance (AUC = 0.63) and did not improve the accuracy of a clinical predictor of KRAS status. Our results argue that somatic mutations drive distinct radiographic phenotypes that can be predicted by radiomics. This work has implications for the use of imaging-based biomarkers in the clinic, as applied noninvasively, repeatedly, and at low cost. Cancer Res; 77(14); 3922–30. ©2017 AACR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
