Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of pre-treatment CT radiomics and clinical factors for the overall survival (OS) of advanced (IIIB–IV) lung adenocarcinoma patients.MethodsThis study involved 165 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. The Lasso–Cox regression model was used for feature selection and radiomics signature building. Then a clinical model was built based on clinical factors; a combined model in the form of nomogram was constructed with both clinical factors and the radiomics signature. Harrell’s concordance index (C-Index) and Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves at cut-off time points of 1-, 2-, and 3- year were used to estimate and compare the predictive ability of all three models. Finally, the discriminatory ability and calibration of the nomogram were analyzed.ResultsThirteen significant features were selected to build the radiomics signature whose C-indexes were 0.746 (95% CI, 0.699 to 0.792) in the training cohort and 0.677 (95% CI, 0.597 to 0.766) in the validation cohort. The C-indexes of combined model achieved 0.799 (95% CI, 0.757 to 0.84) in the training cohort and 0.733 (95% CI, 0.656 to 0.81) in the validation cohort, which outperformed the clinical model and radiomics signature. Moreover, the areas under the curve (AUCs) of the radiomic signature for 2-year prediction was superior to that of the clinical model. The combined model had the best AUCs for 2- and 3-year predictions.ConclusionsRadiomic signatures and clinical factors have prognostic value for OS in advanced (IIIB–IV) lung adenocarcinoma patients. The optimal model should be selected according to different cut-off time points in clinical application.
